Sitting in a smooth white concrete shell, facing the sea and escaping the relentless rays of the afternoon sun, the acoustics of the waves smatter and splash against the shoreline with a detail that is usually only afforded when standing at the water’s edge. Looking at the sea some 15 or 20 meters away, this experience feels strange… Almost as if the sound of the sea has been brought inland.

"The Acoustic Shells were designed by London studio Flanagan Lawrence to facilitate community events and provide residents of the West Sussex town with a scenic resting spot on the edge of a sunken garden, between the town and a beach facing the English Channel."

I saw this clump of fungus growing on a tree stump. It resembled shells on the seashore.

Sea shells on Blackpill beach, Swansea.

I find this shell today, in my garden

The shell is sat on an unused tablet screen protector, lit from above with daylight and from below with the flash-light of a phone.

Stacked from 61 images.

Whilst having a little rest against a the defences on Hayling Island, notes the shell just sitting there whilst I was relaxing listening to the waves breaking into the shore.
