Shell seemed to lead an erratic existence in southern West Virginia. As best I can tell they were there in the 1960s and were mostly gone by the late 1980s. The brand later reappeared via Go-Mart convenience store conversions (which didn't last long), and via Texaco conversions (which are still around, though few and far between on the roads).

An SB-24 camera left, a 580ex camera right. Each is set to ~1/8 power (which means that the 580ex is throwing more light), and diffused through a piece of paper that I folded to make it stand upright. The backdrop is an article of clothing I wasn't wearing, and the minor reflections you see beneath the shell are from a stand made from two paperclips.

Shell Beach, within the Shark Bay world heritage site. The beach stretches for 60km and in places is up to a depth of 10m. See flic.kr/p/2dbpoqN for a close-up of the shells.
The high salinity of the sea in this area has allowed the cockle to proliferate unchecked, since its natural predators have not adapted well to this environment. Before becoming a conservation area the compacted shells were made into bricks and used for building.
