A picture of my travel to western australia.
Shell Beach is a beach in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres south-east of Denham.
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.

Here I was, driving along a road to basically nowhere by the Kent coast and I find this artwork, which would be seen by relatively few people.
But it is a this spot for a reason, for these are the Short brothers, and it's here on the Isle of Sheppy where their company built the first 'heavier than air' aeroplanes in Britain. This was 1909. These consisted of six licence-buit Wright Flyers and their own Short No.2 biplane.
This lovely artwork depicting Horace, Eustance and Oswald was unveiled in 2013. Sculpted by Barbara Street.

Dinosaurs at Dinosaur Caves Park in Shell Beach/Pismo Beach. This park has a playground with concrete marine animals this dinosaur and some dinosaur eggs. I found the plastic plesiosaur toy at a thrift store in Morro Bay and had to take her to this park.
Nice clouds close the sunset at my fav Shell Beach location. Five bracketed shots tonemapped in Photomatix.
While out to catch the days sunset I caught this lone standing kayaker making his way back inland. The water was so flat this day, it was almost like glass. And although the marine layer moved in and stopped me from getting the sunset shot. It gave off a gorgeous blue light.

Well it’s been a while since I’ve used the autobracket function on my camera (or overcooked the crap out of an image)—my work colleagues would be proud! The light hasn’t warranted it in a while around here and it’s no secret I’m obsessed with filters these days. My buddy and I took the looooooong walk from my house to this beach (1 block) and had the feeling the sky was going to blow up through the breaking marine layer—what a short treat this was! We had about 5 minutes to take advantage of this so I bracketed away.

Shells and fragments of them make up this beach on Shell Key across the channel from Pass-A-Grille, Florida. Shell Key is a beautiful, natural, hotel and road free, barrier Island that is protected as a County Nature preserve.

I got destroyed by these waves a couple months back. I think this is why my 16-35 had to go in for a tune-up--a couple sets later I got knocked back and the gear took a bit of a crash. Walked home soaked. At least it was comedy for all the people watching the sunset at the end of my block in Pismo Beach, California.
Not too much on this: some Lightroom 3 and Color Efex Pro

Got some nice light here in a secret small cove in the bosom of Shell Beach as the sun hung low over the pacific. The tide was rushing in and the movement around these broken rocks made for some designs at an exposure of just under a second. Hit "L" to view this on black with a border around it. :)

A shot a couple years in the making. First took this compostion in 2009 when we had a negative tide. Those of you that have explored the beaches from Spyglass to the Palisades may know of its location. This is a five composite HDR shot @ f/ 16, with the old D40 from Nikon. Super excited about this one! :D

Shell beach si trova nella World Heritage Area di Shark Bay (Western Australia) ed e' una delle due sole spiagge al mondo fatta INTERAMENTE da conchiglie... un po' scomoda per camminarci a piedi nudi ma... un posto magnifico

I'm just adding a closeup shot of the shell beach at Coral Beach on Skye. Although there are shells from sea snails and other shellfish, most of the "shells" here are the bleached skeletons of coralline algae from the nearby reef. These wash up onto the beach and are broken and polished by the surf and by the strong winds that blow across Loch Dunvegan tumbling them smooth.
This beautiful beach is composed of shells, from fine grains of shell to complete shells, in the dunes at the back of the beach one can see clear layers showing the fine sand, then almost complete shells, looks stunning when its wet!

Felt like i was late to the party tonight to catch the light and color getting good. I missed the light but the lovely pinks never really made a presence. Thankfully i had some high thunderous tides to work with and knowing this small cove in Shell Beach pretty well i was able to position myself on these rocks where i knew the rushing water would go right by me leaving me mostly untouched. With the fast tides and unique cobbled rocks that lay strewn along the beach i got some nice designs showing the fluidity and presence of the water.
