This beach in Shark Bay, Western Australia, is covered in several meters of little white shells, the size of a fingernail. There is a quarry nearby, where blocks of compacted shells were cut to build a telegraph station. A beautiful building material, and fantastically insulating too, due to the air trapped in between the shells.

A look back towards Shell Beach. Outstanding estates and quaint beach homes. This is from Pirates cove in Avila Beach
Youhei was a cool Japanese surfer/diving dude who I met on a West Australia tour. On the way back we stopped at Shell Beach, Denham, which as the name suggests, is a beach made entirely of billions of tiny shells and is one of only two in the world. It stretches for approximately one-hundred and ten kilometres and is between seven and ten metres deep.
It was very bright here and I was thankful for my Oakleys.
For this photo I asked Youhei to pose with my shades to get the reflection shot.
Pookie has a thing for sweet potatoes. By "has a thing" I mean if sweet potatoes were a woman we would leave me, marry her, and make babies. He also has a thing for roasted garlic. Maybe not a baby-making thing, but close enough.
When we saw "sweet potato hash with roasted garlic" we just knew it was The One. Little did we know that The One would be so good that we've spent the last three weeks seriously considering driving the 5 HOURS back to Shell Beach just to eat this. What kind of crazy person would even consider that!?
The bears at Shell Beach, WA. The beach is literally made of shells. No sand, just millions of little white shells, which are aesthetically pleasing but not so much fun for walking barefoot on. Shells between your toes aren't comfy.
Anybody want to take a guess where this was taken? A very low tide enabled me to explore parts of this beach that I never had before! I love seeing something new in my own backyard.

Shell beach tide pools, winter low tides provide great access to these amazing organisms. Pastel colors are luminescent and look like they glow.
Shell Beach / Calif / Central Coast
Taken on a very nice evening in Shell Beach, the same day as "Rare Skies". Spending the evening walking along the wet sand and shallow tides forgetting about most things, especially the time. The photo earns its handle because I stayed out on the beach a little to late. Its actually a small cove, flanked on all sides by the high cliffs and mostly hidden and usually accessible at low tide. In the distance where the cliff meets the sea the tide had come in way to fast and I had to fight the pull of the vigorous tide as it slammed into me and threatened to pull me into deeper waters and for a moment I thought I was actually going to be pulled out. I gracefully threw my tripod on the rocks above (its durable), where I wanted to be- and slung my bag around my shoulder and waited for the tide to momentarily recede but the water was so far in that there really was no receding at all. Luckily my aquatic shoes held against the slippery rocks and I was able to get to safety. Not after getting drenched from my chest down and dosed with some adrenaline and a drowned cell phone. I should have known better to stay out at this spot late, for I have shot here numerous times but... nobody is perfect. Lesson learned.
