One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
I had an idea for a background for this one involving ice planets and the hollowed out shells of giant creatures used as the exoskeleton and armor for rocket powered mecha that skate along the ice, but nothing in the way of cool names has popped into my head.

I struggle with getting a good photograph of this shell. On the one hand it is incredibly detailed; and yet on the other, it is so hard to get those details to appear in camera. I shot this with back lighting coming through sheers on my workroom window, then layered it in photoshop with another image of a marble tile. A lightroom vignette finished it off.

These pupils were encouraged to draw these shells from life using only watercolour and paintbrushes. I think the colours and textures are brilliant

A brief hiatus from the kind of architecture I usually post. The sunset last night was unusual for our part of Germany and my outing with the dog turned out to take a little bit longer than planned. But the light changed so dramatically over the course of 45 minutes, every time I decided enough was enough, I had to try another exposure and another.......
Be patient with me, I may have to post more than one.
A few of the sea shells that I found on Coco Plum Beach on Coco Plum Drive Marathon, Florida.
Coco Plum Beach is a locals beach. It is about 1 mile long and has white clay and shell instead of sand. It is one of the few beaches in the Florida Keys and is my VERY FAVORITE.

This is a beach near Siolim, the town Angela's family is from. When the tide comes in, there is a very area of sand left accessable. The locals go down and dig out clams, which are a bit smaller than the ones I am used to, and are called shells. Auntie Remy made shells for lunch one day - they were SO tasty!!
"A strong smell of tobacco and tar rose from the interior, but nothing was to be seen on the top except a suit of very good clothes, carefully brushed and folded. They had never been worn, my mother said. Under that, the miscellany began--a quadrant, a tin canikin, several sticks of tobacco, two brace of very handsome pistols, a piece of bar silver, an old Spanish watch and some other trinkets of little value and mostly of foreign make, a pair of compasses mounted with brass, and five or six curious West Indian shells. I have often wondered since why he should have carried about these shells with him in his wandering, guilty, and hunted life." Treasure Island

Geysers are hot springs that episodically erupt columns of water. They occur in few places on Earth. The highest concentration of geysers anywhere is in the Upper Geyser Basin at the Yellowstone Hotspot Volcano (northwestern Wyoming, USA).
Shell Spring is a frequently erupting geyser in the Sapphire Group of Yellowstone’s Upper Geyser Basin. It is located about 30 meters west of Jewel Geyser. Bulbous lobes of geyserite surround Shell Spring’s vent, with pustulose to nodulose geyserite along the periphery. Eruptions involve low to moderately low splashing. When water levels are low, a small side vent on the southwestern side of the main vent engages in chugging/rhythmic sputtering. The name “Shell Spring” is in reference to its resemblance to the folds and sulci of the interior surface of an articulated tridacnid bivalve shell (e.g., Tridacna gigas).

Shell Eco-marathon Asia - the Urban Concept class. Over several days, teams make as many attempts as possible to travel the furthest on the equivalent of one litre of fuel. Cars drive a fixed number of laps around the circuit at a set speed. Organisers calculate their energy efficiency and name a winner in each class and for each energy source. (photo by Ben Cho)
