I could have taken lots of photographs of police in reflective jackets and tourists with backpacks around Victoria today, but I thought you would prefer this hut in a square.
My first products in 3D printed ceramics were the Ceramic Coasters and this time I wanted to create more of classical and beautiful product with a simple purpose.
Inspired by the curves, flowing surfaces and gentle ridges found on sea shells, I created a shape that is a continous surface which is curls around and inside itself to create an object that naturally holds a candle.
The candle holder is made to fit the IKEA Jubla crown candles and most other crown candles.

The shells and the straw mat were something I found on my parents' balcony when I was visiting many years ago. I'd just finished building my Bender, and I was always itching to use it. Because the balcony was almost always in shadow, light tended to be directional and highly diffuse. The combination worked well.
I stopped down a fair bit for this one, and seem to recall the exposure time was in the many seconds range. I intentionally over-exposed it to get a high key exposure on the white shell.

Hardly anyone was on the beach this morning except for a family of four, each bent over holding a bag, collecting sea shells.

This was a difficult shot to get. It was a windy day and the Shell sign wanted to pivot around; this is one of those original rotating signs, but I doubt it's supposed to do it on its' own like that!
Mexico. I collect seashells and sometimes pay a good amount of money for a particularly beautiful specimen. While driving through a small commercial fishing village on the Pacific coast, I was amazed to see the discarded conch shells piled everywhere along the beach. Unaware of their market value, the fishermen didn't know that they could earn more money if they sold their garbage than from fishing.
I'm sure there is a scientific term for this structure, but it looks like a fin, so shell fin it is...
The nymphal "shells" collect at the base of the tree after the adult cicadas have molted out and flown up to the tree tops.

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)

Shell Mex House is situated at number 80, Strand, London, UK. The current building was built in 1930-31 on the site of the Hotel Cecil and stands behind the original facade of the Hotel and between the Adelphi and the Savoy Hotel. Broadly Art Deco in style, it was designed by the architectural firm of Messrs Joseph, with F. Milton Cashmore responsible for most of the work.
Standing 58 m (190 ft) tall, with 537,000 sq ft (49,900 m2) of floor space, Shell Mex House has 12 floors (plus basement and sub-basement) and is immediately recognizable from the River Thames and the South Bank by the clock tower positioned on the south side of the building (flanked by two large, hieratic figures at the south corners). The clock, which was known for a time as "Big Benzene", is one of the biggest in London. It is known for its face looking towards the river, but also has a face looking towards the Strand. In the words of architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner, the building "is thoroughly unsubtle, but succeeds in holding its own in London's river front."
The building was for many years the London headquarters of Shell-Mex and BP Ltd for whom it was originally built. Shell-Mex and BP Ltd was a Joint Venture company created by Shell and British Petroleum in 1932 when they decided to merge their United Kingdom marketing operations.[1] Upon the "Brand Separation" of Shell-Mex and BP Ltd in 1975, Shell Mex House became the head office of Shell UK Ltd, which was Shell's "UK operating company". Changes in the way that Shell was run in the 1990s led to the disposal of the property by Shell. Today, simply known as 80 Strand, most of its floors are occupied by companies belonging to Pearson PLC, who use it as their registered office, including Mergermarket, Penguin Books, Dorling Kindersley, Hamish Hamilton, Michael Joseph and Rough Guides.
Other notable businesses in this building are Groupe Aeroplan, which manages the Nectar loyalty card, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The entrance of the building, which is set back from the Strand, is through a large gated archway. A green plaque was affixed to the wall just inside the gate in March 2008, proclaiming: The Royal Air force was formed and had its first headquarters here in the former Hotel Cecil 1 April 1918. Below it is a brass plate stating: This plaque was unveiled by the chief of air staff Air Chief Marshall Sir Glenn Torpy KCB CBE DSO ADC to mark the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Air Force.[2]
During the Second World War, the building became home to the Ministry of Supply which co-ordinated supply of equipment to the national armed forces. It was also the home of the "Petroleum Board" which handled the distribution and rationing of petroleum products during the war. It was badly damaged by a bomb in 1940. The building reverted to Shell-Mex and BP Ltd on 1 July 1948 with a number of floors remaining occupied by the Ministry of Aviation (latterly the Board of Trade, Civil Aviation Division) until the mid-1970s.
Olive shells are gastrpods in the family Olividae. All have cylindrical, glossy shells with narrow, elongated apetures.
Letttered olives havea thick shell with a small pointed spire about 1/9th total shell length. Shells that are not faded or beach-worn are covered with overlapping, slightly blurry, brown zigzags that are darkest below the suture and as part of two, broad, spiral bands. Oliva reticularis (the Netted Olive) has no bands and a larger spire of about 1/7th total shell length.
The species' range is from North Carolina to Florida and the Gulf states of North America, including Louisiana and Texas; It also occurs in Mexico, and may also occur in Brazil. The lettered olive typically lives in near-shore waters, on shallow sand flats near inlets. The empty shell is occasionally, or sometimes commonly, washed up onto ocean beaches.
Lettered Olives are carnivores and actively prey on bivalves and crabs.
The lettered olive is the state shell of South Carolina.
Native Americans long ago made necklaces of the handsome shells. In the early 1900s these “Panama Shells” were collected and strung to make portières (door-curtains) to sell to tourists.
