This is something I'm not very experienced with - a art structure. I've seen lots of great mosaics (eg Katie's) and I wanted to try out how to use all these parts. I was ill the last two weeks (had a cold and sth with my knee -_-) so I couldn't come up with something more MoCish.
Hope you like it.

Fort Christian, the oldest standing structure in the Virgin Islands, was designated a National Historical Landmark in 1977.
The imposing fort with walls 3 to 6 feet thick was built between 1672 and 1680.
It served as the administrative center of the island, the residence of the first Governors and the official place of worship. Between 1724 and 1735 it was expanded and continued to function as a government building.
By the late 1800s the role shifted. The upper level of the fort served as the islands’ prison from 1874-1983!
Fort Christian Museum was established in 1971 in the downstairs area of the fort with exhibits of old photos, antique furniture and artifacts.
This rectagular frame the only structure still standing in this part of Northrup Canyon in Steamboat Rock State Park. It may have been part of a mill or perhaps a mine in the canyon.
