One of the unexpected delights of the Boneyard Beach at Botany Bay Plantation on Edisto Island in South Carolina... was how people dealt with the "no shelling" rule. Our first reaction to hearing that an isolated beach would not allow you to take any shells was minor sadness, but then we saw that so many of the trees and exposed roots were coated in beautiful shells. It was almost like the shells were ornaments decorating the trees of a tropical island. Sarah found and hung several shells of her own while we were there.
The average conch shell was about 6 inches long and we saw hundreds upon hundreds of them. Take a close look at the tilted little palm tree in the foreground of this picture and you will see what I mean!

Along route 14, in Wyoming, Shell Falls displays its beautifully time worn rocks and massive water volume.
Die Marke und Unternehmensgruppe Shell geht zurück auf die Gründung eines Kuriositätengeschäfts im Jahre 1833 im Londoner Eastend durch Marcus Samuel. Ein Großteil seines Handels basierte auf dekorativen Muscheln (engl.: „Shell“), die zur Ornamentierung für Schachteln oder als Sammlerobjekte im Viktorianischen England beliebt waren und von ihm aus Fernost importiert wurden. Der Konzern ist heute in mehr als 140 Ländern aktiv und beschäftigt weltweit rund 83.000 Mitarbeiter.
The Shell brand and group of companies goes back to the founding of a curios shop in 1833 in the East End of London by Marcus Samuel. Much of his trade was based on decorative shells, which were popular for ornamenting boxes or as collector's items in Victorian England and which he imported from the Far East. Today the group is active in more than 140 countries and employs around 83,000 people worldwide.
A small Buddha plombb figurines were put in the living shell. As it grows there are covered with sedeph. End result is quite impressive to me.
Das Shell-Haus ist ein fünf- bis zehngeschossiger Bau am Landwehrkanal im Berliner Ortsteil Tiergarten am Reichpietschufer 60–62, unweit des Kulturforums. Das unter Denkmalschutz stehende Bürohaus wurde nach einem Entwurf des Architekten Emil Fahrenkamp von 1930 bis 1932 an der damaligen Königin-Augusta-Straße (ab 1933: Tirpitzufer, seit 1947: Reichpietschufer) für die Hamburger Rhenania-Ossag Mineralölwerke AG (ab 1947: Deutsche Shell AG) errichtet. Fahrenkamp erhielt 1929 den ersten Platz im Wettbewerb zum Bau des Hauses, an dem fünf Architekten teilnahmen. Seit 2012 ist es neben dem Bendlerblock ein Teil des zweiten Dienstsitzes des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung.
Shell House
Shell-Haus is a five- to ten-story building on the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin at Reichpietschufer 60-62, not far from the Kulturforum. The office building, which is a listed building, was built from 1930 to 1932 on what was then Königin-Augusta-Strasse (from 1933: Tirpitzufer, since 1947: Reichpietschufer) for the Hamburg-based Rhenania-Ossag Mineralölwerke AG (from 1947: Deutsche Shell AG) according to a design by the architect Emil Fahrenkamp. Fahrenkamp was awarded first place in the 1929 competition to build the building, in which five architects participated. Since 2012, it has been part of the second official headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Defense, alongside the Bendlerblock.
Many years ago, when I first came across these shells, i thought they were deformed. I found them most intriguing and I loved them for their peculiar shapes. Since then, I have come to know them as Cardita shells which are formed in symmetrical pairs, like a clam. Many types of Carditas grow up to 5 or 7 cm long but these ones, pictured, are a maximum of 3 cm long. I'm not sure exactly which type these ones are but they were found along beaches around Wollongong, on the south eastern coast of Australia. Being so small, they are a little hard to find but now and then I come across one. It seems that their lumpy bumpiness is exactly how they are supposed to look :)

This pathway leads you from one of the golf tees over the hill to the green on Old Prestwick Golf Course. When walking along there is a distinct crunching sound of sea shells underfoot, as the pathway has been made with "thousands" of shells!
