The Shell House is a classical modernist architectural masterwork that stands overlooking the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin. It opened in 1932 and was designed by German architect Emil Fahrenkamp. At the time the building was noted for its striking wave-like façade, and for being one of the first steel-framed high-rise buildings in Berlin.
In the morning before seminar which I had to give presentation of the Project I carry out, insteading of preparing I walked around to relax and meditate my mind before time.
It was still silent as I came quite early. There is lotus pond in front of the hall, no lotus blooming just only green leaves. Just something on the move on one leaf so I looked closer and saw this bug floating in the little pond on the lotus leaf . After I realised that this bug could not swim so I gave little help by finding little stick to pull the bug out of this liitle pond.
I felt fulfilled with this little thing I had done and had seen.. the liitle pond was just like crystal shell... and some new little world I explored like "Alice in the Wonder Land" and I had saved this little friend.

Low tide today was at 12.59pm, so I took myself down to the beach for a wander. I spent nearly an hour and half there and it only rained once for a few minutes, but otherwise it was glorious.
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.
