I added the texture and used color burn.

I found these shoes for under $10. I tucked them away, and rediscovered them again rooting through my pile of.... The leather sole is sumptuous, but I'm unsure if the straps will hold up to city streets. It's funny how my nails are painted the same color as the shell. I recently noticed my pseudo-Fred Flintstone toes, on my left foot, do a weird grip/curl thing. I'm not sure if I like that....

A few shells and plants at the beach : from the mandarmani trip.

Shell Eco-marathon Asia - the Urban Concept class. Over several days, teams make as many attempts as possible to travel the furthest on the equivalent of one litre of fuel. Cars drive a fixed number of laps around the circuit at a set speed. Organisers calculate their energy efficiency and name a winner in each class and for each energy source. (photo by Ben Cho)

I was in Florida briefly over the weekend -- not too many photo opportunities (time constraints), but I did manage to wander down an isolated beach.

These shells were tiny -- the sand grains give a sense of scale -- and each one was perfectly formed.

Another lookout with shells on the beach.

An unusual formation of sea shells I came across last time I photographed Fontygary Bay.

More photos of the shells we collected, with a couple of extras added on our last day.

This eight-story commercial building—located on a corner lot at right angles to an alleyway and Omotesando Avenue—is actually surrounded by Tod’s L-shaped Omotesando Building by Toyo Ito. The façade of the former old building faced Omotesando exclusively, so the side façade, facing the alleyway, was exposed awkwardly like the backside of a building. Thus, this project tries to change this relationship to the Tod’s building by creating a diagonal orientation with an irregularly shaped circle. This is to maximize the corner lot feature of the premises, and to accentuate the inner vertical façade of the adjacent Tod’s building, in order to create a certain “symbiotic” synergy. The building’s structure is composed of multiple leaf-shaped columns made from steel reinforced concrete and arranged on the outer shell. The wood-like texture on these columns was developed by pouring concrete into a wooden mold.

Presumably a Turritella but I'm not sure.

Pricey gasoline and diesel at this new Shell station in Regina. Good thing the station's not open yet! It does make me wonder why they didn't enter 888.8 in to test the complete LED display.
