That's the exposed roots of a fallen tree, and the average conch shell in this photo is about six inches long. I've previously mentioned/shown a bit of the effects of the "No Shelling" rule at Botany Bay Plantation on Edisto Island in South Carolina, but it is still fascinating to experience. Since people cannot take the shells with them, they decorate all possible surfaces with them.
Front Street, Issaquah, Washington. The city has restored the original Shell Station and transformed it into the visitor's bureau. It's what greets a visitor coming into Issaquah on the main street, Front Street.
Much of downtown Issaquah looks like an early to mid 20th century western mining town. There's a saloon like feel to some of the buildings.
I live a couple blocks from here.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Matt 7:7-11

I find both the shell model and the freehand digital illustration of the diagram aesthetical very plaesing.
So shine your light while you got one...

The sand was soft of porous. It only held the water for a couple of seconds before drying up, so timing was important. It created a beautiful reflection I think.
The seashell was very thin at some places which made it possible for the sunlight to shine through. This created a very nice golden light which I tried to capture.
Paul is a shell collector. He has a spreadsheet of every shell he has collected, traded or purchased. I'm beginning to think he's serious about it.
I like to look at his shells and Iike to decorate with some of them. He picked this abalone shell in a game at his conchologists' meeting because he knows I'm currently into turquoise.

Piles and piles of Atlantic slippersnail shells (Crepidula fornicata) . The slipper snail or its shell is also referred to as a boat shell, quarterdeck shell, fornicating slipper snail, Atlantic slipper limpet or common slipper limpet. I have never seen so many in one place as on this beach at Tod,s Point in Greenwich, Connecticut - USA

Shell Beach is a beach in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres south-east of Denham.
Situated on the northeastern side of the Taillefer Isthmus, it covers a 110 km long stretch of coast along the L'Haridon Bight. It is one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from shells.
The beach was named "Shell Beach" because of the great abundance of the shells of the cockle species Fragum erugatum. The seawater in the L'Haridon Bight has a high salinity due to both the geomorphology and local climate of the area. This high salinity has allowed the cockle to proliferate unchecked, since its natural predators have not adapted well to this environment.
The shells typically reach a depth of 7 to 10 metres. Over time, the shells have formed a limestone that is known as Coquina.
Before Shark Bay became a World Heritage Site, the limestone was mined and used for the construction of a number of buildings in the local town of Denham, Western Australia.
