That's right, besides having maybe the most spectacular sunsets I've seen.

The best shelling is found on the beaches of Sanibel and Captiva Islands. The islands rank tops in the world for shelling because of geography. Sanibel Island does the twist as it parades along the coastline among a string of other more orderly, straight-and-narrow islands. The east-west torque of Sanibel’s south end acts like a shovel scooping up all the seashells that the Gulf imports from The Caribbean and other southern seas.
The abundance and variety of shells have made Sanibel and Captiva Islands shell-obsessed. People come from all over the world, drawn by the song of the seashell. They parade along the sands doubled over in a stance that’s been dubbed the Sanibel Stoop. Every March, they gather to compare and appreciate shell collections and shell art at the annual Sanibel Shell Fair & Show. (From www.sanibel-captiva.org)

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
Shell
Miller's (2,450 square feet)
948 J Clyde Morris Boulevard, Newport News, VA
This location opened in fall 2000, replacing an older 1960s-built Shell/Miller Mart #66 that sat on the same site (known as "Bayberry Shell").
This fiberglass shell has been sitting on the roadside for years. Can you guess what it is? Hint: the car model is decades old, but has been picked up by other manufacturers long after the demise of the original company.
Answer: a Studebaker Avanti. Seen in Fallston, PA but gone as of August 2011.

The Music of Origami:
Sliced Nautilus shell showing inside chambers.
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sail the unshadowed main,--
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.
Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered cell,
Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell,
As the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed,--
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt unsealed!
Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
He left the past year's dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
From thy dead lips a clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathed horn;
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep caves of thought I hear a voice that sings:
Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!
"The Chambered Nautilus"
-Oliver Wendall Holmes
I was set on finding a rare Taiwan Russell's viper, and had found an injured one on the road in this area last November. After getting encouragement from a local farmer who said he'd seen many right here, i spent several hours searching around this tank firing range, coming away in the end with only a set of interesting photos.
A beautifully designed Shell lapel badge showcasing Edward Mcknight Kauffer's 'oiling the joints' automaton figure that debuted during Shell's 1930s 'Lubrication by Shell' campaign. This automaton logo was so appropriate for an automotive lubrication product and was applied to a plethora of garage products such as Shell oil cans, oil funnel pourers, oil workstation units and grease cans. Kauffer used this design in prototype form in the book he illustrated for Frederick Birkenhead's 'The World in 2030 A.D.' (1930)
Kauffer was a prestigious 20th Century graphic artist who designed over 140 posters for London Underground, and later London Transport. He experimented with a number of styles that touched upon futurism, cubism and vorticism. He also excelled in his work for Shell, creating a number of powerful posters throughout the 1920s and 1930s.
