Shell Centre, in London, is one of the two "central offices" of oil major Shell (the other is in The Hague). It comprises a skyscraper tower and three nine-storey wings (the "upstream building").
Shell Centre is located on the Belvedere Road in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is a prominent feature on the South Bank of the River Thames near County Hall, and now forms the backdrop to the London Eye. Shell Centre was constructed in 1961, to a design by Sir Howard Robertson, and the tower stands at 107 metres (351 ft) with 27 storeys (26 numbered and a mezzanine level) and extends three storeys below ground. The tower was the first London skyscraper to exceed the height of the Victoria Tower of the Palace of Westminster.

The burly guy in blue set up this shell game near the McDonald's on Berlin's Tauentzienstrasse. The guy in the suit won easily so he was probably an accomplice.
It was just after Midnight. I was running errands, and had my camera with me. Drove by once, thought it looked neat. Came back around, parked, and snapped this one.

Looking for shells as the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico in Tarpon Springs Florida. It had been a rainy, overcast day, so it was nice that the sky opened up for a beautiful sunset.

I'm taking over mum's photo prompt game. The first one I've got to do is "Shell".
The big one in the middle is my favourite because I like the clours in the middle.

Discovered in 1835, Margate's Shell Grotto is an astonishing find; 21 metres of winding passages decorated with 4.6 million shells. The walls are covered in images of gods and goddesses, trees of life and patterns of whelks, mussels and oysters. Some think it is an ancient Pagan grotto, others that it is simply an ornate Regency folly; but with no definitive explanation or history, the Shell Grotto is Kent's greatest mystery.
I'm experimenting more with bitmap tracing. Nature is full of patterns and designs.

Some shells I bought today at a garage sale, filled with the clear candle gel from a few weeks ago.
The gel remains after the shot, with little forlorn pieces of shell sticking to it. the gel acts as its own perfect mold release, maybe using the shell as a form and shooting the gel replica?
Cheers.
