This is a small, old abalone shell, macro. Not until I saw this image on my computer screen did I know that the fluid, molten looking colors of abalone (aka Mother of Pearl) are actually layers of color.

I felt like modding my last SABR prototype into the shotgun that I bought myself for my birthday, minus the stock mounted shell holder.
Also, I <3 super macro feature.
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 :)

My new flash finally arrived today, I've never used a "real" flash so it's going to be a bit of a learning curve to say the least :-)

This is a pretty cool geothermal feature. I didn't even realize it at first, but it is constantly filling itself up and than draining itself out.
The Shell is a swimming pool in a little place called Bergen op Zoom,
The Netherlands. Its location is right next to the water on the
boulevard of the Bergse Plaat (a district in Bergen op Zoom).
This swimming pool's got the shape of a seashell, hence its name "The Shell".
At night The Shell looks absolutely stunning. The lighting makes the
colors of this building really stand out.

i liked the fact that the result of the waves pondering on the beach are wave-like patterns of shells, perpendicular to the waves which created them.
one I did for last week's Macro Mondays, but replaced by another because I thought there might be a lot of shells.

A melted and refrozen bowl of water created patterns within itself, mimicking the shells and shapes that were scattered around it.
