At one point on the Shell Canyon road (WY-14), you can see this prominent fold. At looks as if all the strata folded together as a unit without cracking or crumbling, except for the top layers which have apparently eroded away.
There is just nothing like going to the beach and watching the waves roll come thundering in, smelling the salt in the air, and walking along the beach. I try to avoid doing this during the middle heat of the day, as the beach is littered with people, but prefer to get up just before sunrise and stroll along the water, with only one or two fishermen as company.
These shell pieces remind me of the quiet on the beach before the general public arrives, and as the shadows disappear, so does the silence, which is only masked by the sound of the waves.

A Christmas tree made of shells and left on Howe Street in Bay Head, NJ. The shells are left blank and then signed by visitors to the beach with their names and, or a message. Adorned with a starfish at the top, smaller red shells throughout the tree.
In lockdown so can't get out, however the sun obliged by lighting the shed. Art on the doorstep. Cropped & edited in Photoshop.
Pastel, pen and ink, marker
Two shells from a resale shop. I've been playing with backgrounds. This one is pastel, sealed in with acrylic gel medium. The squares are from an old dictionary, painted with sepia ink, stamped, and faded in places with bleach.
Today after a horrible drive to Rickney Amber and I met Tony for a walk on the marsh. The weather was cold misty and grey. But the peace and quiet was really wonderful. Not as much to see as on other visits but still we had a really great walk. So a running Fox Peregrines dive bombing some Lapwings and some Egrets. So only 11 images for today but as always great company and a great walk.
Various broken shells lie along the railbed at Mill Creek - dropped by hungry seagulls to get to the meat beneath.

This store was built and opened in 1987.
I ripped these photos out of a MS magazine several months ago, and finally got around to photographing them. It's pretty amazing what people can do with shells.
The story goes that in 1835 Mr James Newlove lowered his young son Joshua into a hole in the ground that had appeared during the digging of a duck pond. Joshua emerged describing tunnels covered with shells. He had discovered the Shell Grotto, its walls decorated with strange symbols mosaiced in millions of shells. Is it an ancient pagan temple? A meeting place for some secret cult? Nobody can explain who built this amazing place, or why, but since its accidental discovery visitors from all over the world have been intrigued by the beautiful mosaic and the unsolved mystery.
This is the older Shell truck stop replaced by a new Flying J/Shell facility.
Here is the new building opened in October 2012:
