A dip in to the Treasure Hunt for today's image. This open shell was beachcombed from Tasmania
Shell #61 for the Treasure Hunt
This place has just about survived to the present day although it has spent all of the Streetview era as a hand car wash. From that view we can see it eventually gained a canopy and much of the site was redeveloped but certain features remain to the present day including the big sign for Old Mews Garage on the end wall of the house (although the house doesn't - looks like one or two were demolished to expand the site in time) now an advertising billboard. The site was divided up too as the far side shows a tyre business still operating in the end building. Have to say it looked so much better in 1958 than it does now - that's not me looking back with rose tinted glasses, more that I really can't stand the visual impact of the hand car wash! I have another photo of this place from some years earlier which will get posted at some point when it hadn't yet become a Shell solus site - it was then selling Cleveland predominantly. Now posted - see below.

the recent gift of a black-tailed deer skull got me thinking about the various nature ephemera i have accumulated around the house over the years. it was fun to bring some of the bigger bits out on the table and have a look at things.
for an idea of scale, the largest moon snail shell is 5" across.
Sally sells sea shells down by the sea shore ... and I can not wait to get to the beach again! Why must vacation only come but once a year? I swear that one day I will at least have a winter home by the beach to escape from the mountain cold.

Piles and piles of Atlantic slippersnail shells (Crepidula fornicata) .

Front Street, Issaquah, Washington. The city has restored the original Shell Station and transformed it into the visitor's bureau. It's what greets a visitor coming into Issaquah on the main street, Front Street.
Much of downtown Issaquah looks like an early to mid 20th century western mining town. There's a saloon like feel to some of the buildings.
I live a couple blocks from here.

E' da tanto che volevo farti vedere queste foto. Mi mancano i tuoi commenti. Mi manca vedere le foto che fai tu e la sorpresa quando mi dicevi "Ho fatto una foto!"...
Penso che le tue preferite siano questa...
A shell my late sister collected on the North Carolina coast. Her collection is now one of my prized possessions. Canon T6i, 0.3 sec., f11, +2 1/3 EV, ISO 100, Sigma 70mm EX DG Macro, tripod, RAW. 8/11/2016
This pair of shells are over a 100 years old. You can still hear the sea if you hold them against your ear.

The was originally a Taco Bell, which opened on December 19th, 1977 (as the first built in the area) and relocated here in 1992. Since 1995 it has operated as several different independent restaurants, including:
*Kory Restaurant
*Soprano Italian Restaurant (opened in the 2000s, closed in early 2012)
*Sunday's Kitchen (opened in late 2012, closed in early 2013)
*Wolf's Burger Joint (opened in December 2013, closed in early 2014)
*Emo Italino Pizza (opened in 2014, closed in the middle of 2016)
*Shell's (opened in late 2016)
As you can see here, this Taco Bell had the exterior access restrooms that were a common staple of locations of that era. I'm not sure if the drive-thru is original or not, but it's certainly situated oddly. The arrow looks like its' pointing you to drive into the shed!
At a 120 feet in height Shell falls sends the water of Shell Creek tumbling over 2.9 billion year old Precambrian basement rocks into a narrow chasm that makes up the inner canyon.
