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.

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.
Haliotis fulgens green abalone indigenous to San Benito Island, Baja California, and Mexico.
We got these years ago when they were still plentiful and harvesting them commercially or for sport was banned by state of California.
We were camped at the shoreline near San Francisco and dove in 5-10 foot deep waterwith mask and snorkle , popped them off the rocks, where they hang upside down, allowing their lunch to wash in under their shells.
They make delicious eating if you know how to prepare them.
We really only knew one recipe at the time, which was to extract the meat from the shell, pound to meat to soften it, boil it in a soup with milk, butter, salt and pepper.
Wonderful experience!

Shell Beach is a little North of Pismo Beach. The area sits above the water on some cliffs that give a pretty good view of the Pacific Ocean. The rock features and tide pools offer a nice foreground for landscapes.
This was my second attempt at getting a nice sunset picture in the area. The previous night I tried at the Montana de Oro State Park. There weren't many clouds in the sky on either night, but the smoke from the L. A. area fires blew this direction and made for interesting color on the horizon.
