Burial - Shell Of Light
"The Sound Shell was commissioned in 1967 by the Rosebud Foreshore Committee from the local architect Ronald Murcott and was completed in 1969. Rosebud had become a popular holiday camp site and recreation area, and the sound shell was part of a series of improvements made along the foreshore in the 1960s. Murcott had an interest in the unusual roof forms popular in the post-war period and their potential to span large spaces. He had already designed a church and a car park with roofs in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid (or hypar), a special form of double-curved shell, the geometry of which is generated by straight lines, which makes it fairly easy to construct. He used the same form for the sound shell, in this case of reinforced concrete construction. Murcott was assisted in the design by the engineer Dr John Brotchie of the CSIRO Division of Building Research, an expert in the analysis of concrete shell structures, and J L van der Molen, a local pioneer in the application of computer technology to the design of concrete structures. The builder was Trevor J Luck.
The Rosebud Sound Shell has a free-standing reinforced concrete shell in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid above a stage on one side and several enclosed rooms (formerly toilets and storage facilities) at the rear. The roof plan is roughly a diamond-shape, measuring 23 metres by 21 metres. The thickness of the shell varies from 762 mm along the central axis to 508 mm where the lower corners touch the ground. On the stage side the roof rises to a height of 8.8 metres and is slightly lower, 4.9 metres at the rear. The walls below the roof are of concrete block construction. These have now been painted with murals. Since the structure was completed barriers have been added at the lower corners to prevent access to the roof."

I was on a photo shoot for a cookbook. As I waited for the next item to be prepared for me to shoot, I noticed these egg shells on this glass plate. I was taken with how interesting they looked, and made a few exposures. I received a few questioning looks and comments ("Just WHAT are you going to do with those shells?"). I just smiled and said, "trust me."

I didn't get much of a chance to take many pictures at Shell Island (too much BBQ'ing and drinking) but I did manage to get this...
Taken in Clifton, Ohio.
Clifton is a very small rural town of 151 people (2018) who's major attraction is the Mill run by a water wheel on the Little Miami River. At the mill, the river (more of a stream at that point) drops into Clifton Gorge which is an amazing place to see. The land around is almost table top flat and all of a sudden, there is this beautiful gorge you wouldn't expect to be there and can't see from the road even though it is only a few yards away in many places.
There are a few out buildings around the mill that are covered with old signs like this one. During Christmas time, the entire grounds of the mill are decorated with lights. I've seen all the lights and decorations during the day, but never at night. Apparently it is a very well attended attraction. .
I don't know what type of shell this is, but I think it is some kind of Moon Snail. Another treasure I found on the beach.
One little and lonely shell sitting by itself, poor little shell. Not taken on the beach!!
