Bizarre image - an artist deserts his model, races to fill his car with Shell from the pumps just outside the door to his studio. World War 2 petrol rationing has just ended. Presented in a downbeat pastiche of mid-century realism. 1953
In nature, even things that are dead are very beautiful. The shell of a mollusc creature in the shore has nice patterns and in one angle it appears like human ear.

Restormel Castle lies by the River Fowey near Lostwithiel in Cornwall, England, UK. It is one of the four chief Norman castles of Cornwall, the others being Launceston, Tintagel and Trematon. The castle is notable for its perfectly circular design. Once a luxurious residence of the Earl of Cornwall, the castle was all but ruined by the 16th century. It was briefly reoccupied and fought over during the English Civil War, but was subsequently abandoned. It is now in the care of English Heritage and open to the public
It is an unusually well-preserved example of a circular shell keep, a rare type of fortification built during a short period in the 12th and early 13th centuries

From Pacific Islands. The bright blue/green Paua shell is NZ and the front 2nd right is a cameo shell - from which jewellery is made. This particular shell has been carved like the jewellery carvings and is presently used as a lamp shade. Middle shell at the top has a perfect nature made hinge whereby it opens and shuts.

Abalone shells have such a terrific texture and yield such a fantastic "meat" when prepared properly.
In 2000, Peru’s government formalised Brazil nut harvesting under a system of concessions, where each producer, or castañero, has the right to collect nuts in a particular patch of forest. They can also remove a certain amount of wood per year, but some extract more than their quota.

Dr. Phil Nudelman and his wife, Sandra, recently donated a one-of-a-kind collection of more than 100,000 shells to the Burke Museum. It's not only incredibly beautiful but also holds great research value. Read more on our blog: bit.ly/12YJQeS
Our tables were named after beaches, and they used these shells for place cards. The bows tell the servers what we're eating: Anne is having Soylent White, and my mom is having Soylent Green
I confess I did bring home just a couple of shells - these are so tiny (the yellow one is about the size of my little finger nail) that they would have been lost in one of my usual beach shots, so I brought them home to capture. Markings are so pretty.
I *may* have also found an abalone (my first whole one ever!)
Love these, but can't remember where I picked them up. These days I tend to just take photos and leave the shells on the beach
