"The Shell Building (1952) is a reinforced concrete, limestone-faced skyscraper of modest height (14 stories) in the International Style. Its open floorplan forms a “V” at the sharp intersection of Common St. and University Place in the New Orleans CBD. The Shell Building was built primarily to house offices and secondarily to provide additional space (bedrooms and a ballroom) for the adjacent Fairmont Hotel."--National Park Service.
The building is now mostly condos.
The urn was designed by the artist and made by a miniature woodworker out of American Holly, an almost pure white wood. It is entirely covered with shells and sea urchin spines.
Shell ranch station side view - Vero Beach FL - December 1970. This is at the northwest corner of 8th Ave (US 1) and 19th street, and I think it did business as Howard's Shell. There is a McDonalds adjacent on the other side. Across US 1, there is a Bay gas station and just to the left, an A&W drive-in. Nearby but not pictured was the Dolphin Motel that had a neat neon sign with a jumping dolphin. This was taken from the porch of a relative's home. According to Google Street View, it is still exists, although it is now operated as a Sunoco outlet with a big canopy.
I decided to try a new macaron recipe based on French meringue instead of Italian. It tastes better, and simpler steps too(:
Zebra mussel shells on the Cana Island beach, Door County, Wisconsin. It's impressive to see so much shell, although not a good thing from the perspective of invasive species in the Great Lakes.

A fake Shell Oil billboard in Houston, July 19, 2012, reads "You Can't Run Your SUV on Cute, Let's Go." The sign mocks Shell's current advertising campaign with an image of a polar bear and cubs. By chasing after hard-to-reach oil in remote and dangerous places, Shell is putting polar bears, walruses and other Arctic wildlife at risk.

With textures from Shadowhouse Creations. Thanks again, Jerry.
This shot probably would have been better if the shells weren't so dirty. Because they are so small and delicate, it's hard to get them clean without damaging or losing one or two. I tried the Photoshop healing brush, but there's just too much to "clean". I decided that natural was better, in this case.

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....
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.
