Shell, Wyoming; the old one-room school was used until sometime in the 1980's. It's now an office for a local consulting firm.
This is a shot of a Shell gas pump i took right outside of a gift shop in Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, TN. I took the image with my Canon 70d and edited the photo using Lightroom 5.
I love spending time at the beach and by the ocean. It's always been my favourite place to escape to. There's nothing quite so calming as listening to the sound of the ocean, smelling the fresh sea air, feeling the sand beneath my bare feet or going for a swim in the sea. So naturally when it comes to photography I'm drawn to the beach and the ocean.
This was taken at CY O'Connor Beach in North Coogee, Perth. I went specifically to photograph an old jetty and what remains of an old shipwreck. But this little seashell is my favourite image from that little trip. I love its beautiful pattern, and how the little grains of sand have stuck to the shell.
I haven't done much macro photography, but it's a type of photography I'm really interested in. I'm hoping to add a macro lens to my kit soon. Hopefully that will allow me to take better macro shots. But I'm really pleased with how this has turned out.
Detail of tile in an arched doorway in the St. Louis Union Station Hotel. Union Station was designed by Theodore Link and opened in 1894. The station was converted into a hotel (now a Hilton) in the 1980s.
I love the colours of these mussel shells - if they weren't occupied I would have liked to re-home them to my place.
Taken in Otago, South Island, NZ

There was some something about this that caught my eye. Perhaps a visual representation of never truly being stuck and having the strength to crack through our constraints.
When I see a bunch of shells on the beach, I want to hoard them like a pirate. At some point in history, these were money.
This photo is reprocessed from an earlier version here. (justenoughfocus.smugmug.com/Portfolio/Full/i-MVVZNj3) The tools for post-processing are continually being updated, so lately I've been having a little fun going back to old photos to tease out a new look. I don't recall what tools I used back in 2015, but this time, I used the latest version of Skylum's Luminar.
Nevertheless, what got my attention in this scene is all of the shells in the foreground; they must have been deposited after a storm. You can go to a store and buy a bag of shells for ten bucks, or you could just go to the beach and pick them up yourself. Better yet, send me the money, and I'll get them for you! (just kidding)
Loved the way the light caught it's, err, "eyes."
These things always amaze me. He just climbed up this thistle, latched on, molted and he was off.
This is the first in my new series of images from the German North Sea island Sylt. When I was there last summer, I was constantly taking photos, even when I was relaxing on the beach.
I am still in holiday mode, so I don't comment as much as I usually do. Please bear with me. Things will go back to normal next week.
Enjoy!

The left shell is fresh and I brought it home from a Japanese meal in Kyoto. It is called Abalone or Awabi (Japanese) and is pearl inside with a row of (at least 9) perforations. It is rather light in weight. The right shell is pertrified and very old, I found it at a beach in France. I have no idea what exactly it is, but it could be an oyster type of shell. It is the perfect intermediate between a shell and a stone and rather heavy. The photo gives a reliable impression of the two very different textures of these shells.
Nature is full of contrast between life and death. An impenetrable shell is quiet literally a guaranty for a sheltered life. But what happens when this idea is brought over to buildings? Expansive art mostly.
