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)
We plan on going on a beach vacation in the winter months, so until then I'll stare at these shells
on a creative level, I did love the light coming from the window though

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.
For Macro Monday theme "Negative space" (April 14th 2014)
A snail shell found in the garden - just 1 inch across. I use negative space a lot, though I don't like to over-think it. One rough guide I use is to imagine the subject (including the reflection in this shot) has been cut out of the picture. Would the shapes left behind be interesting? For this exercise I had to try and hide the signature too, as it takes away from the negative space ;o)

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.

DJZ_6588-Edit-2: Shell Canyon is on the western side of the Bighorn Mountains. In this image, you see Hwy US14 going down. I'm on my way down the canyon heading toward the section of US14 that's between Wapiti, and the eastern entrance of Yellowstone NP.

A submission to Macro Monays on the topic "Collection". I am currently travelling, so all our collections are at home. But here is a very temporary collection of shells found on a beach on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
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!

Shell Beach is the closest stretch of sand to downtown Gustavia on St. Barthélemy, Eastern Caribbean.
Along route 14, in Wyoming, Shell Falls displays its beautifully time worn rocks and massive water volume.
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.
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.
