A beach made up entirely from queenie, scallop shells, stone & sand. The majoroty is from shells. These shells are not from dead creatures from the ocean but are the by-product of the Citys shell fish processing factorys. If you ever wondered where all the shells go when you eating a queenie or scallop well now you know. They are washed up from the back of Peel hill.

I was surprised when they went out of their way to come and see me, boldly walking right up to the fence where I was standing. The size of these birds up close is intimidating, and the peaceful setting with no other people around only magnified the experience. After inspecting me for about 10 minutes, they suddenly turned and walked away back up the hill, leaving me to my thoughts.
Emu, a large flightless bird of Australia. It is a ratite (one of a group of flightless birds, which includes the ostrich, cassowary, and kiwi). The emu is second in size only to the ostrich. It is about five feet (1.5 m) tall and weighs up to 120 pounds (54 kg). The emu is covered with coarse, drooping, brownish-black feathers on the back and light brown feathers on the legs. The neck is bare and is light blue. Emus can run up to 30 mph (48 km/h) and are good swimmers. They feed on vegetation, fruit, and insects. Males communicate with low guttural noises; females with loud booming calls. The female lays 7 to 12 dark green eggs with grainy shells in a ground nest of leaves and grass. The male incubates the eggs and cares for the chicks. The chicks are pale gray with light yellow stripes down the neck and back.
The Shell Centre, in London, is one of the two central offices, and serves as the registered address, of oil major Shell (the other, its main headquarters, is in The Hague), a prominent feature on the South Bank of the River Thames near County Hall, and now forms the backdrop to the London Eye.
The original Shell Centre comprised the tower building and three now demolished adjoining nine storey wings (collectively formerly known as the "Upstream Building").
The Shell Centre, in London, is one of the two central offices, and serves as the registered address, of oil major Shell (the other, its main headquarters, is in The Hague). It is located on 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.
The original Shell Centre comprised the tower building and three now demolished adjoining nine storey wings (collectively formerly known as the "Upstream Building"). The original development also included a separate building known as the "Downstream Building", which was separated from the Upstream Building by the railway viaduct between Charing Cross and Waterloo East.
The Downstream Building was disposed of by Shell in the 1990s, and is now a block of residential apartments known as the White House, and has been heightened by a storey.
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.
The picture was taken with a wide angle lens. Also to give an original angle, I dug a hole in the sand and shoot from there.
