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.
These shelled animals were probably deposited on high ground during one of our floods. The high water probably receded quickly and these were left behind.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
The Shell House is a classical modernist architectural masterpiece that stands overlooking the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin, Germany. It was designed by Emil Fahrenkamp and was built in 1930–31. In retrospect it is regarded as Fahrenkamp’s masterpiece and one of the most significant office block designs of the Weimar Republic (see Wikipedia).
Simple but effective, caught in a furrow on Abersoch beach made from the retrieving sea, this shell highlighted by the late evening sunshine created an interesting shot which for me was emotional given it was on the last evening of our holiday. The black and white conversion helps with the mood of the image.
This shell may itself be a ghost - it seems to be stalking something, doesn't it? For We're Here! who investigating ghosts in shells today and for my POTD.

Came across this hinged mussel shell when walking the dog in Gunners Park, not far from East Beach, Shoeburyness. Picked it up and popped in on a pyracantha bush nearby !!
In most marine mussels the shell is longer than it is wide, being wedge-shaped or asymmetrical. The external colour of the shell is often dark blue, blackish, or brown, while the interior is silvery and somewhat nacreous
(Nacre also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs (like mussels) as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent)

SAME SHELLS.. TUTUFA
from the bottom now, are they small or are they big?
Tutufa is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Bursidae, the frog shells.
Photography can play games with our visual perception, LOL
A series of ‘nautical’ subjects. It can be anything, just seeing different scenes that attracted my attention.
Pure photography.

For the Macro Mondays challenge "Patterns in Nature" ( July 15th 2019)
Seashells always amaze me. How can so many shells have the same design, patterning, colour and size! Maybe they are as diverse among the seashell world as we are - but to foreign eyes they all look the same ;o)
There's a shot of the seashell in the first comment field, along with the the size-guide I use for MM.
HMM to everyone, and have a great week ;o)

I put the shell on the rock to photograph it when the wave came it. I thought the wave would go around the rock but as the tide was come in it went over the rock and was a current of bubbles.

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

The smallest shells in my collection, which I brought many years ago from Bulgaria. This bigger one is exactly 20mm long :)

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.
