Shell Beach is a beach in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres south-east of Denham.
Situated on the northeastern side of the Taillefer Isthmus, it covers a 110 km long stretch of coast along the L'Haridon Bight. It is one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from shells.
The beach was named "Shell Beach" because of the great abundance of the shells of the cockle species Fragum erugatum. The seawater in the L'Haridon Bight has a high salinity due to both the geomorphology and local climate of the area. This high salinity has allowed the cockle to proliferate unchecked, since its natural predators have not adapted well to this environment.
The shells typically reach a depth of 7 to 10 metres. Over time, the shells have formed a limestone that is known as Coquina.
Before Shark Bay became a World Heritage Site, the limestone was mined and used for the construction of a number of buildings in the local town of Denham, Western Australia.

Photos taken on Jan 11, 2009 of a former Shell Gasoline Station. This station has gone through a series of owners and changes. About 5 years ago, it was cleaned up to its current appearance, looking more like how it originally appeared when it operated as a Shell Station. Located at Vermont and Venice Blvd. in Los Angeles California.

Often derided as one of London's ugliest buildings, but I like it.
Set for redevelopment although the tower will stay. A great video of the building and its facilities (including a swimming pool - is that still there?) on youtube here... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zUQD1p9bXY
The Shell Project - Originally started as an exercise to test some of the features of my new Casio point and shoot camera but turned into an extended study of a single abalone shell. The series shows the results of photographing that shell at different focusing modes and lighting conditions.

Shells found on the beach in Orcas Islands. The seagulls pick it up and drop them on rocks for them to crack open, so they could eat them.
Shell on 'beach number 1', in the east of the city. The beaches around Yantai are often crowded with locals and tourists alike in the summer months, Im not sure why as all the beaches that I have seen are either covered with sharp broken shells and or pollution, not to mention the danger of the polluted ocean itself

Shot this on my way to Shell for Thanksgiving.
I was wearing shorts since I'd left Orlando the day before and hadn't changed yet. And had to trudge through almost a foot of snow, getting my shoes and lower legs all soaked and frozen. Then I almost couldn't get my car out of the snow bank I'd had to park in. The visitor's center is closed and I guess they didn't see any need to plow the parking lot or even enough for a car to pull off there.

The Shell is the reinvention of the bookcase! This rotating unit was designed to literally delivery a "spin" to the any living space. Featuring 5 partitions, this cool piece adds additional storage and a hint of sophistication to any space.

The biggest shell on the left is a cone shell, home to one of the more venomous animals in the world.
