Close-up shot of a shell. I wanted to capture how complex a shell really is and the curvature of its body!
Citizens Protest Trump's Visit to Shell Ethane Cracker Plant. This "United We Stand" rally brings attention to a range of causes as Trump celebrates Shell's toxic chemical/plastic plant with a visit. NoPetroPA is streaming because we seek to highlight the catastrophic impacts of a pro-petrochemical and pro-plastic policy on our health, our climate, our oceans, and our democracy. Be sure to read up on the community's concerns about the facility here: nopetropa.com/2019/08/13/open-letter-to-president-trump-r...
One oyster shell that I found while wondering around on our property. We have lived here 18 years and I never know what I might find while out walking along the berm. I'm reading a book about expressive drawing...that is what inspired me to draw the same shell in different positions. I used Neocolor 2.
Several Decades ago, Shell put out a number of series of cards. They also sold albums to put these cards in. Everytime you went to Shell for petrol, or anything else, they gave you some cards. The idea was to collect the whole lot, and generally they were most obliging in allowing you to go through the box, to get the cards you were missing.

Shell Australia owned NTAF 6057N sits adjacent to the platform on the down main at Cootamundra Station. This tanker forms part of the loading of 1327 Bomen Oil train. The Shell owned NTAF wagons come off the train at Cootamundra, and are used to convey fuel to the fuel point here. Empty NTAF tank wagons are shunted back on to the northbound 3128 service.
Wren's Nest National Nature Reserve
Last Friday members of Redditch U3A Digital Photography and Exploring Science Group visite the Wren's Nest site at Dudley. Thes photos were taken there.
"Over 400 million years ago, the area where Dudley now stands was covered by coral reefs and tropical seas providing an environment for the famous fossils we find there today. Over 700 types of fossil are known to have come from Wren's Nest. 186 of which were first discovered and described here and 86 are found nowhere else on Earth.
Wren's Nest National Nature Reserve is a classic geological site of exceptional importance.
It is one of the most notable geological locations in the British Isles and visited and studied by geologists from all over the world. "
What's in the photos?
Top left is a series of seabeds from Silurian times, c480 million years ago. Middle top is the ancient Horsetail plant, which first appeared but a mere 300 million years ago. Top right contains a number of fossils if you look closely. Identifications would be very welcome. Middle left is a small Scabious flower. Middle middle is Dudley Castle - built from the best of limestones found locally. Right middle is Convolvulus which seems to like the limey soils here.
Bottom left are the gentle ripples left on a seashore 480 million years ago, and preserved by some miracle. Bottom middle is a limestone pie built by local farmers to burn limestone and produce quicklime to improve the ph levels of their soils. There are many examples here. Bottom right is a Brachiopod and several other fossil from Silurian times.
The Shell Grotto is an ornate subterranean passageway in Margate, Kent. Almost all the surface area of the walls and roof is covered in mosaics created entirely of seashells, totalling about 2,000 square feet (190 m2) of mosaic, or 4.6 million shells. It was discovered in 1835 but its age remains unknown. The grotto is a Grade I listed building and is open to the public.

Some of my shell collection, arranged roughly by type and size on my rug. Reminds me a bit of Ernst Haeckel for some reason.
some of these are straight from the beach in mexico. we bought the starfish in hawaii. cordy has a fondness for it - we often find it randomly throughout the house!
