Restormel Castle lies by the River Fowey near Lostwithiel in Cornwall, England, UK. It is one of the four chief Norman castles of Cornwall, the others being Launceston, Tintagel and Trematon. The castle is notable for its perfectly circular design. Once a luxurious residence of the Earl of Cornwall, the castle was all but ruined by the 16th century. It was briefly reoccupied and fought over during the English Civil War, but was subsequently abandoned. It is now in the care of English Heritage and open to the public
It is an unusually well-preserved example of a circular shell keep, a rare type of fortification built during a short period in the 12th and early 13th centuries

Seen this hidden Gem, from Chris barkers collection, 2 Isobal M Starts tucked far away from the Shell Garage, never seen anything like this before, especially being so far away from the station itself, not advertised well
WEEK 37 – Hernando Car Place(s) Construction
We're traveling back to the past for the first photo of this week's set! In this street view (courtesy Google) from April 2013, all appears perfectly normal here at the Shell Rapid Lube adjacent to the gas station of the same name but accessible through a different station's (currently unoccupied, and de-gas-station-ized) parking lot. But something strange would soon transpire...

Aronson Island, Escanaba, MI. Those ladybugs were moving around. I don't know what kind of shells--are these zebra mussels?
“…The wind in the wires made a tattletale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the Captain did, too,
T'was the witch of November come stealing.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the gales of November came slashing
When afternoon came it was freezing rain
In the face of a hurricane West Wind
When supper time came the old cook came on deck
Saying fellows it's too rough to feed ya
At 7PM a main hatchway caved in
He said fellas it's been good to know ya…
…Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the words turn the minutes to hours
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and took water
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters…
… The church bell chimed, 'til it rang 29 times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald…”
-Gordon Lightfoot- Lyrics from the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

The Music of Origami:
Bracelet made by local coastal dweller of (Papua) New Guinea. Acquired by Andrew Goldie, a Scottish explorer of (Papua) New Guinea between 1830-1880. Brought home to Millport. Given to Museums of the Cumbraes 1970.
The bracelet is made from a local mollusc shell. It has been carved and smoothed in order to wear on the wrist. Slightly chipped to overlap. It is mainly cream in colour and with brown speckled patterns at the overlap. The patterns are natural.
Bought from unknown local coastal dweller. The inhabitants at this time were still relying on bone, wood and stone tools and consequently had a productive agricultural system. They traded along the coast when Europeans first arrived with shell ornaments and foodstuffs. Little was known of the inhabitants until the late 19th century. Consequently little is still unknown about Andrew Goldie, but that the main Goldie River is named after him.

I found these shoes for under $10. I tucked them away, and rediscovered them again rooting through my pile of.... The leather sole is sumptuous, but I'm unsure if the straps will hold up to city streets. It's funny how my nails are painted the same color as the shell. I recently noticed my pseudo-Fred Flintstone toes, on my left foot, do a weird grip/curl thing. I'm not sure if I like that....
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.
