Very porous and beautiful! Sure that isn't coral, Paul?

Coral was my first thought, but the identification is from my wife, a retired earth science teacher.

I thought it was a fossilised Cuban Dinosaur Brain - but I know nothing !

I love the pictures, DrF, and especially the lady's dresses. There's something very dignified yet happy about them. Thanks for this lovely surprise.

Thanks PortMoresby! Gumbo is full of surprises, as we find out each week.... The women working at the lace center were very proud of their skill. Like most Sri Lankans, they're shy when you first meet them and start talking to them, but once the ice is broken you're rewarded with huge smiles and friendly conversation....and a chance to take photos like those you see in this post. The quality of the lace is excellent. I still have a number of pieces I bought here, including a large lace...

Excellent and informative piece Dr F and love the pictures. Yes, I wouldn't have expected to find lace in Sri Lanka

Spotted along the Malecon in Havana, this piece of limestone, whose softer elements have been washed away by years of water, looks almost as if it were soft ribbons of lace.

DrFumblefinger visits "Regina Lace", a two piece work of art installed outside Regina's City Hall.

About the last place on earth I'd have thought to buy lovely hand-woven lace was Sri Lanka.  The world's best tea -- of course, but lace seemed improbable.  But the proof was right there and it was lovely.
