Low tide today was at 12.59pm, so I took myself down to the beach for a wander. I spent nearly an hour and half there and it only rained once for a few minutes, but otherwise it was glorious.
Die Marke und Unternehmensgruppe Shell geht zurück auf die Gründung eines Kuriositätengeschäfts im Jahre 1833 im Londoner Eastend durch Marcus Samuel. Ein Großteil seines Handels basierte auf dekorativen Muscheln (engl.: „Shell“), die zur Ornamentierung für Schachteln oder als Sammlerobjekte im Viktorianischen England beliebt waren und von ihm aus Fernost importiert wurden. Der Konzern ist heute in mehr als 140 Ländern aktiv und beschäftigt weltweit rund 83.000 Mitarbeiter.

This medium-sized alcove is like a smaller version of the Great Chamber, but without the stain patterns. It has a small sand dune inside. Located a short walk from a gas station in Page, Arizona, it is becoming a popular place for selfie photos and short visits. Expect lots of footprints on the dune.
This is a pano made from 3 vertical shots.

A small Buddha plombb figurines were put in the living shell. As it grows there are covered with sedeph. End result is quite impressive to me.
Today the weather man said cloud with sun in the afternoon but it was awful it was really murky misty and very wet. So i had to wear a raincoat and keep the camera covered it was also cold. Anyway even though the weather was not in my favour I still managed lots of images from birds fish ponies flowers fungi so a really good day with lots of images .

This is the outer shell of one of Krefeld's home improvement stores. I am wondering why they all, like Home Depot, have orange as a theme color. The story of this shot?
I was approached by an employee (after beeing stared at by customers for a while) asking me if he could help. No, I am fine, I am just taking shots of the wall nothing more, and the carts and the hinges of some doors. No, forbidden, need approval of Mr. V. O.k. I explained to Mr. V. - no big deal, no spying, just abstract images. I could go ahead. I was into it when I heard "whatyour doing there?" A customer in his top of the line Audi started shouting. I asked him who he was, somebody from the company? No, just a concerned citizen. He added: "I could arrest you for taking shots - people can arrest people if ..." "a crime is happening or had just happened," I added. So, what's the crime? He said: "Just this, taking photos, uhm, you could be preparing a theft." "Preparing," I said, "is not a crime and does not fall under the statute." I explained what I did for a living and he backed up. He isn't like the Stasi, he said, just concerned. Now that you mentioned it, I thought.
