I'm glad I decided to use the TZ 25 for these photos. The quality is so very much better than with the TZ70.
So here is another of the Murex.
As I walk along the deserted beach
I feel the damp sand surronding my feet
I feel the cool relaxing breeze creep up upon me with ease
As I look out at the restless waves my thoughts unwind like restless days
The beach is a very quiet and calming place
Shell Beach is just North of PIsmo Beach. We had just eaten at a restaurant near here and the waitress recommended this location to shoot a sunset. I'm glad I asked her before searching for a location. I loved the rock features in the water and this bluff had a perfect line for the glowing light off of the water.
I was sharing this location with another photographer and his wife asked us if we had looked below us. We both were in the moment and were trying to get the perfect light and weren't paying attention to much else. She had been below us on the beach and made a comment about how precarious the bluff looked that we were shooting from. I'm glad that it held us up because it would have been about a 75 foot drop to the beach below. It just reminds me of the crazy things we do to get the perfect shot.
An old Shell Gas Pump found on a trip to Wisconsin last year...the sky was just plain whitish, so I added a sky from another image I took.
Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
A black walnut shell inside of it’s other shell.
Juglans nigra, the eastern American black walnut, is a species of deciduous tree in the walnut family, Juglandaceae, native to North America. It grows mostly in riparian zones, from southern Ontario, west to southeast South Dakota, south to Georgia, northern Florida and southwest to central Texas
Black walnut is an important tree commercially, as the wood is a deep brown color and easily worked. Walnut seeds (nuts) are cultivated for their distinctive and desirable taste. Walnut trees are grown both for lumber and food, and many cultivars have been developed for improved quality wood or nuts.

A geeky computer joke. This shell is nature's way of exploring cellular automata :).
A cellular automaton is a mathematical technique that evolves a collection of data using very simple rules. This shell exhibits that sort of evolution along its outer surface.
In the computer world, a shell is a program that accepts a persons inputs (usually by typing commands) and then spits out the results.

It is perhaps unsurprising that Brian would have a keen interest in shells - he has been collecting them for years from his many overseas expeditions in Malaysia, Australia and Papua New Guinea to name just a few. He loves admiring the grace and elegance in the amazing diversity of their colours and forms. This image shows him posing with four of his smallest shells - two cowries, an olive shell and a common cockle.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Collection'. Brian is a tiny juvenile snail, with a shell barely 7mm long, so the image spans about 7.2cm.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
Macro Mondays: #5letters
I haven't been here as much as I wanted to, nor have I taken pictures of the places I've been. I finally have a car again and as before; it will be easier to get to my favorite spots.
Thanks very much for your visit and comment! 💕
I just can’t get over the Shell Haus. The façade is little worn-out, but shapes are so mesmerizing. Overall, it takes me home to Nordic with its design.
The spiral staircase in the Passion Tower of the Sagrada Família, Barcelona Spain.
The staircase is notable for its unique, organic form that mimics natural snail-shell shapes, and its symbolic meaning.
The narrow and dramatic descent staircase appears to spiral infinitely downward when viewed from above. Its central void creates an optical illusion of depth and a dizzying visual effect.
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥

One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Shell".

....... a tiny shell lay camouflaged on the remains of the bark of a tree trunk, washed up on the beach ......
The only difficulty with tight rules on MM is that during COVID 19 not everyone will be able to fulfil the strict rules of the time line. If I get the time I’ll add into the MM pool just to highlight the problem for some of us when we’ll be a bit busier than normal.
The larger shell is 3inches in size, so then significantly smaller then, they are 3-5mm in size.
HMM all stay safe
Shell Falls in Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming plunges for 120 feet above PreCambrian Granite. During the summer, water drops over Shell Falls at a rate of 3,600 gallons per second. The Creek and Falls follows fractures in the resistant granite. The creek and canyon were named for the shell fossils found in the sedimentary canyon walls above the granite.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
A pair of SD40-2's head back to CN's Scotford Yard after lifting interchange traffic from CP. Shell Canada's Chemical plant and upgrader loom in the distance. If you look above the inflatable cow on the far left you will see a tan structure and stack, which is where I am employed. Not often do I get to combine work and play in a single shot.
