Some places in Costa Rica preserve and display these stone balls as decorative items. There is one at the entrance drive to the airport in Liberia. The one in this photo is at the beachfront restaurant at the Tamarindo Diria Resort, which is a popular place to gather at sunset.
This week we have photos of Africa posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

Knowing the history of these large stone balls would be quite interesting. Guess I'll have to do some research now!
They do make perfect decorative items. Historic and decorative at the same time.
Very interesting, can't quite decide how large this is.
I like the way you captured the round ball of the sun behind the big round ball. Very creative.
Great photo, Dave! One has to wonder how these were carved by people without modern technology - how they were able to get them so perfectly round.
GREAT HISTORY!
