coquille
Je suis tombé pour nager
et j'ai laissé mon coeur en arrière
J'ai laissé mon coeur vers le bas
comme la coquille dans le sable
I fell to swim
and I left my heart back
I left my heart down
like the shell in the sand
Odysseus Elytis
Sitting in a smooth white concrete shell, facing the sea and escaping the relentless rays of the afternoon sun, the acoustics of the waves smatter and splash against the shoreline with a detail that is usually only afforded when standing at the water’s edge. Looking at the sea some 15 or 20 meters away, this experience feels strange… Almost as if the sound of the sea has been brought inland.
"The Acoustic Shells were designed by London studio Flanagan Lawrence to facilitate community events and provide residents of the West Sussex town with a scenic resting spot on the edge of a sunken garden, between the town and a beach facing the English Channel."

The smallest shells in my collection, which I brought many years ago from Bulgaria. This bigger one is exactly 20mm long :)
Macro Mondays - theme: "Less Than An Inch"
Cicada shell; it's a BIG, noisy Cicada year here!
Macro Mondays: Hook
Even after they have left the shell you can see how they climb and hang on with those hooks ... great to use as a temporary badge, too :)
So my old macro lense (Tamron 90mm) died a death, due to fungus :\ Had to replace it, like for like, and I remember why I liked this lense so much in the first place. Slapped a Raynox 250 on it and got this macro of some very small shells. The focus is *ever so slightly* off, but it's good enough.
Originally put up in 1933, along Commonwealth Avenue near its more famous cousin, the Citgo Sign in Kenmore Square, the Spectacular Shell sign today marks the Magazine Shell Station at the corner of Magazine Street and Memorial Drive since 1944 and today uses LED's rather than traditional neon. Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

A tree entirely made up of of beautiful sea shells directly off the beach of Cayo Costa Island, S.W. Florida. (only accessible by boat) We each hung our shell and admired the beautiful wildlife at this wonderful Nature Conservation Reserve.

Part of Savannah, Georgia's rich texture - sidewalks along the river front are composed of tabby - a blend of oyster shells, lime and sand.
This is an old sea shell that I brought back from Baja California, Mexico years ago.
Lighting stuff: Side lighting from a Yongnuo manual flashes in soft boxes on either side of the shell. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
Other pictures that I've taken of shells can be seen in my creatively titled Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157626043932290
I wanted to put something with the shells, but couldn't think what. Then I remembered that these 2 buttons are made from shell. One is oyster pearl and the other smokey pearl. They're both over 100 years old and date from the 1890s/1900s. Buttons to the rescue again. :)

Our Daily Challenge ~ Shell/s
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
A Shell - Took the colour away in photoshop and sharpened, but that's it..
Edward Weston - A great photographer whose work you can see here.

I only came across Mr Weston due to a posted comment below, but yes the similarites in tone and colour are quite apparent to see.
I found this unusual large cone shell attached to a rock at the tide pools. I believe it is a wavy turban. These snails feed on algae and are found along the west coast of North America. At its base, it is 4-5 inches wide.
Winter benefits:
It is getting dark early enough to snap pictures of illuminated gas stations and be home before curfew.
Iowa Northern Railway train BUWA has IANR 4100, 3809, 3802, and 3803 for power on this December Sunday to make the run from Butler Yard near Shell Rock, Iowa to Bryant Yard in Waterloo. The train had 75 cars out of Butler, but have brought the head 15 into the CN Waterloo Yard for interchange. In the background EJE 667, still in orange, is paused in between it's duties as the yard switch engine, and a few other motors are laying around at the engine facility including EJE 658 in CN paint.
The CN is in the process of purchasing the IANR but is still awaiting STB approval, and so this is perhaps a bit of a look into the future. Meanwhile the past is well represented in this view too, as the Illinois Central Roundhouse here in the background has been present in at least in some form, (it's had stalls added and removed over the years) back to as far as 1901 (and possibly longer, it was hard to pin down a good date for the roundhouse construction from just some quick online research).
The Iowa Northern Railway uses the CN Mainline in Waterloo and Cedar Falls for a few miles from Waterloo West to Cedar Falls Junction as part of an arrangement going back to the 1980s and a highway project that saw the consolidation of some lines in Waterloo to make room for US 218. Normally from what I've seen the interchange work is typically done by the IANR in either direction at some siding tracks just west of Waterloo West and so they don't come into the yard like this. But occasionally when traffic warrants the CN will have the IANR come directly into the "A Yard" here at the Waterloo Terminal to make their setout and pickup as seen here. They would tie onto a cut of cars and shove back out of the yard to the rest of their train waiting on the mainline.
I had gone out after this BUWA even though it was likely to be a cloudy day because IANR 4100 on the point is one of the road's newest units (arrived to the IANR in August 2023 per some online notes, though it's originally a C&O unit) and still looks pretty sharp. But it was a nice bonus to get them making this less-common move, and this angle normally would be a heavily backlit-view if the sun were present.
Pada dimensi lain hidup, kita disibukkan untuk memilih. Depan atau belakang. Kanan atau Kiri. Atas atau bawah. Benar atau salah.
Terkadang, aku terlambat menyadari pilihanku sendiri. Dari sekian pandangan aku lebih memilih menatapmu. Dari sekian tangan aku lebih memilih menggenggammu. Dari sekian jauh kerinduan aku lebih memilih memendamkannya di balik kertas usang.
Hingga, pada suatu malam aku bertanya pada isi kepalaku sendiri tanpa campur tangan hati yang tertumbuk. Mengapa kau masih bertahan pada pilihan yang telah memilih pilihan lain?
Bisakah kau membantuku untuk menjawab? Bisakah?

Gisteren naar het Bronovoziekenhuis gefietst om een coronatest te laten doen. Uitslag: positief, dus even in quarantaine. Weinig klachten.
Natuurlijk had ik mijn camera meegenomen en op de terugweg wat foto's gemaakt. Dit is de ingang van het hoofdkantoor van Shell, niet royal meer sinds ze besloten hebben hun echte hoofdkantoor naar Londen te verplaatsen.
Tijdens het maken van deze foto kwam een beveiliger naar me toe om te informeren wat ik deed. Hij vertelde dat fotograferen van het pand eigen verboden was (onzin natuurlijk), maar hij had een goede bui, ik hoefde deze opname niet te wissen.
