One of the "shell trees" on Wild Beach at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge / Assateague Island National Seashore (NPS). Visitors like to decorate the remnants of trees, once in the marsh, but now overtaken by the beach as it shifts.

The Shell Collection, which is specially designed for FueraDentro by the dutch designer Jan des Bouvrie, consists of two chairs, a bank sofa, four tables and a sunbed. The fibers of the chairs, sofa and sunbed are made of Batyline and the frames are made of stainless steel. This combination of materials makes the SHELL collection ideal for outdoor use.
The most notable characteristics of the SHELL collection is the rounded shape of the shelllike bucket seat, which brings a stunning sense of shelter. The seatings are carried out in a coaxial structured Batyline® fibre. The frames are made of electro-polished stainless steel and the tabletops are glass.
A huge mass of different and amazing shells on the Mt Maunganui beach. I learnt while there that they get so many shells washing up on the beach that once a week someone gathers up all the shells ( I assume with a machine because it would take quite awhile other wise) and put them all in a large pile in the middle beach. Its amazing and amazingly convenient.

I will never forget how this shell landed in my possession. Our family took a trip to the Bahamas and we usually ended up off of the beaten path. We rented a car and explore the island and ended up on a dead end road that ended at a small stretch of beach. We got out to look around and saw this very tan, weathered man with long hair. As soon as he saw us he quickly turned and disappeared into his house. My dad said we should probably go. By the time we were in the car and looked up he was standing in front with a large bucket in one hand and a shell in the other. He was such a nice man. The experience was the gift of a lifetime. The shell is just a bonus.
