Bizarre image - an artist deserts his model, races to fill his car with Shell from the pumps just outside the door to his studio. World War 2 petrol rationing has just ended. Presented in a downbeat pastiche of mid-century realism. 1953
In 2000, Peru’s government formalised Brazil nut harvesting under a system of concessions, where each producer, or castañero, has the right to collect nuts in a particular patch of forest. They can also remove a certain amount of wood per year, but some extract more than their quota.

Photo Caption:
"Aerial photograph, 1947, shows the Castro Shell Mound being leveled and carted away for use as topsoil in gardens. The mound was on San Antonio Road, where Hewlett Packard stands today. As large as 600 feet long and 30 feet high, such mounds were created over centuries by tribes who deposited shells, bones, and human remains in them; 300 to 400 burials were disturbed in this site. Stanford Archeologist Barbara Bocek says there were many, many Indian sites in Palo Alto. Courtesy Palo Alto Historical Association."
One small correction, I believe the location is erroneously identified as HP (formerly Mayfield Mall). Comparison to other aerial photos of the time puts these buildings in the present day location of the Hausner Day School at 450 San Antonio Road.
The model is stil not finished .I had problem to understand step 19and 20.Lorenzo was kind enough to translete for me the instruction in those steps from Italyan to English.I am still trying to finish the model by doing it a 3D model.

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").
Dr. Phil Nudelman and his wife, Sandra, recently donated a one-of-a-kind collection of more than 100,000 shells to the Burke Museum. It's not only incredibly beautiful but also holds great research value. Read more on our blog: bit.ly/12YJQeS
You would think there were plenty of photos to take on a beach, without having to manufacture them :))

I'm not sure where this was, might be Greece, but wherever it was, goats and donkeys are powered by Shell petrol there!

Love these, but can't remember where I picked them up. These days I tend to just take photos and leave the shells on the beach

One shell, placed on a Lightbox, image into CS3 & colours altered, and rotated 90 degrees each time. All 4 images placed onto one new background.
made with a cedar twig found in the yard, fingering weight merino, some beachcombed shells and feathers, and a bit of hand dyed wool.
happy bokeh wednesday.
love the 'waves' in this gift from the sea!
(i know it isn't shell saturday but i couldn't resist the light...)
An ancient piece of beach, location unknown. These are pretty recent-looking shells, so I'm assuming this wasn't from the time of brachiopods...
PORTSMOUTH, Va. – A pile of fossilized oyster shell is ready to be transported via conveyor belt to a sifter. The Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area here is a temporary home for thousands of cubic yards of dredged fossil shell being dredged from Tribell Shoal in the James River. On July 8, the site began storing the shell, which will be used for the construction of six oyster reefs for the Craney Island Eastward Expansion project. Construction of the $3.6 million environmental restoration project is set to begin in August of this year. Reefs will be built in Hoffler Creek, Baines Creek, Blows Creek, the Lafayette River and two in Gilligan’s Creek. (US Army photo/Pamela K. Spaugy)
