Well after a very wet windy day, the monsoon abated long enough to get this shot of Mary's Shell at Cleveleys on the Fylde Coast.
I have been here quite a few times and never really been happy with my images. The light after bad weather is often good, so I braved the elements and got out here in my waterproofs and wellies. It was pretty windy and unusually there was not a soul around after the rain and I was blessed with 5 minutes of good light and got this.
This sculpture by Stephen Broadbent weighs over 16 tonnes.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Zerene Stacker 120 subs. Two speed lights - snoot to the right and reflector bowl with grid about 30 degrees off-axis to left. The shell is 2.25 inches in greatest dimension.
We found this beautiful shell several years ago in Myakka State Park, which consists mostly of a freshwater marsh. My semi-educated guess is that this is an Apple Snail shell. The Florida apple snail is 2-3 inches in size, consistent with this specimen of 2.25 inches. There are four exotic species that are highly invasive, and are now widespread throughout freshwater ecosystems in Florida. They were introduced in the 1980s through the aquarium trade.

Und es geht weiter. Heute wieder mit einem Ergebnis vom Workshop mit Ronny Behnert in Berlin. Es ist schon lange her, dass ich die letzte echt schwarze und etwas aufwendigere Bearbeitung gepostet habe. Aber dieses Motiv schreit förmlich danach. An Ronny geht dabei insbesondere großer Dank an die coole Idee für diese Perspektive, auf die ich selber so wohl nie gekommen wäre.
Ich hoffe, es gefällt euch!

An early morning trip to the tide pools was a photographer's delight. The low tide exposed various sea life that was usually hidden by the ocean's waters. I'm guessing these shelled sea creatures are filter feeders. However I've not been able to discover the identity of these ocean creatures. Any help would be appreciated.
The Shell-Haus (Shell House) is a classical modernist office building that stands overlooking the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin. Designed by Emil Fahrenkamp, it was built in 1930–31. The most striking feature of the building is its wave-like facade.
It's ok it's an empty snail shell. I got quite carried away trying various objects in ice. I was glad of the subzero temperatures as I placed them in snow where they were backlit by the low sun so I had no worries about any of them melting too soon.
I nearly overlooked this little shell, but as I looked at the driftwood and its beautiful bark, my eye came to rest on it. It was about half a centimetre in diameter.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 26th of July is "sea shells and/or snail shells". Now, I would not classify myself as a seaside sort of person. I like visiting the seaside, but I would probably prefer to live a little further inland. I always enjoy a promenade along the corniche or a wander along the sand, and whilst I am doing the latter, I collect shells. This made my choice for the theme this week very easy. However, you may be wondering why these shells are so “surprising”. The surprise is in their size. They may look large, but the largest of all these shells from my collection is only one and a half centimetres in diameter. I do occasionally use them in my miniature tableaus. Rather than sitting in golden sand, they are actually posed in a mound of very special Très Or Sucre Or (golden sugar) imported from France which was a gift to me from a dear friend a few years ago, sprinkled in the middle of a white saucer. Too beautiful to stir into tea, I have used it numerous times for different photographic purposes. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
I love finding shells on the beach and this one was a winner... you can see little shells growing inside the barnacles that are attached!!
a unique piece, I made it myself........

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
The title pretty much says it. I love the deep purple in the shell. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, just north of Half Moon Bay, California. Great place to go exploring tide pools at low tide. Bring the kiddies.
This is a pretty tiny shell, less than an inch long and a half inch wide. I used 3 stacked extension tubes 36mm, 20mm and 12 mm.

Does the little bit on the end of this shell look like a little shell eye to you too?
I like to think that there is a whole little world inside with little shell creatures looking at live feeds from the "eye" on little TV screens, analysing response tactics to the environment on their little shell computers, initiating their outer shell of silence until any potential danger has passed, and then cheering and jumping about and giving each other little shell creature high-fives. That little hole in the spirals under the eye is their emergency escape hatch I reckon. In an emergency, the ConchChime goes off and they throw a little shell creature ladder out the hole and make their escape while whatever they are escaping from is busy at the main entrance. There may have been a little hero shell creature stay behind to distract whoever they were escaping from, maybe named the Coral Crusader. I hope he/she made it out safely! Must be a tough life being a little shell creature, I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
PS - I like shells, but then again, who doesn't!
