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.

Shell
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").
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
Our tables were named after beaches, and they used these shells for place cards. The bows tell the servers what we're eating: Anne is having Soylent White, and my mom is having Soylent Green
Part of a banner tour by Forest Ethics the "Get the Shell Out" Banner has over 60,000 signatures from people opposed to oil and gas development in The Sacred Headwaters of Northern BC.
The Sacred Headwaters is the source of three of North America's most important salmon-bearing rivers, and key habitat for moose, bears, and caribou. And it was just named as one of British Columbia's Most Endangered Rivers for the second year in a row. The reason: Royal Dutch Shell plans to drill for coalbed methane in this pristine area.
Shell wants to use 'fracking' to extract natural gas. It's a process so risky that some residents in Alberta and Colorado have actually been able to light their tap water on fire after fracking projects contaminated nearby water tables.
Shell has already built three drilling wells. They plan to add over 4,000 more.

A small coloured pencil drawing testing colours and papers for a larger picture. This one is done on gesso with a little texture where the water is but I decided I prefer a smooth surface.
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...
The inside of each Abalone Shell, away from where it attaches to the shell, is polished by the mollusc itself as it moves.

The Shell Grotto, Pontypool | Groto Cregyn
The Shell Grotto was originally constructed circa 1794, although many improvements were made by Molly, the wife of Capel Hanbury-Leigh around 1830.
Molly is credited with the interior design and it is known that she subscribed to the publication "Follies and Grottoes".
The Shell Grotto is circular, built of rough stone with a conical stone tiled roof. The ceiling is vaulted and supported by six pillars decorated with stones and shells. The floor is reputed to be made from deer bones but closer inspection reveals a variety of bones and teeth from a number of different animals.
The Shell Grotto was always a popular attraction for sightseers but was, unfortunately, allowed to fall into decay around thirty years ago. However, it's structure rose from the ashes in 1996 when it was painstakingly restored with funding from Cadw and European Aid.
