One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
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.
Activists hang under the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon, July 30, 2015, In an attempt to block the Shell leased icebreaker, MSV Fennica from passing under the bridge to join Shell's Arctic drilling fleet.
Bracelet made by local coastal dweller of (Papua) New Guinea. Acquired by Andrew Goldie, a Scottish explorer of (Papua) New Guinea between 1830-1880. Brought home to Millport. Given to Museums of the Cumbraes 1970.
The bracelet is made from a local mollusc shell. It has been carved and smoothed in order to wear on the wrist. Slightly chipped to overlap. It is mainly cream in colour and with brown speckled patterns at the overlap. The patterns are natural.
Bought from unknown local coastal dweller. The inhabitants at this time were still relying on bone, wood and stone tools and consequently had a productive agricultural system. They traded along the coast when Europeans first arrived with shell ornaments and foodstuffs. Little was known of the inhabitants until the late 19th century. Consequently little is still unknown about Andrew Goldie, but that the main Goldie River is named after him.

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....
I struggle with getting a good photograph of this shell. On the one hand it is incredibly detailed; and yet on the other, it is so hard to get those details to appear in camera. I shot this with back lighting coming through sheers on my workroom window, then layered it in photoshop with another image of a marble tile. A lightroom vignette finished it off.
This shell is from this beach in Goa, amazingly it survived a trip round India that involved over 3 days of train journeys, 4 flights and i lose count of the number of hostels. The beach no longer exists as it was bulldozed a year later to make way for a hilton hotel. For that reason alone it deserves prosperity in this tiny jar i found on ebay.
I tried some inventive lighting. A piece of paper on top of an iPhone with the external light on.

Shell Mex House is situated at number 80, Strand, London, UK. The current building was built in 1930-31 on the site of the Hotel Cecil and stands behind the original facade of the Hotel and between the Adelphi and the Savoy Hotel. Broadly Art Deco in style, it was designed by the architectural firm of Messrs Joseph, with F. Milton Cashmore responsible for most of the work.
Standing 58 m (190 ft) tall, with 537,000 sq ft (49,900 m2) of floor space, Shell Mex House has 12 floors (plus basement and sub-basement) and is immediately recognizable from the River Thames and the South Bank by the clock tower positioned on the south side of the building (flanked by two large, hieratic figures at the south corners). The clock, which was known for a time as "Big Benzene", is one of the biggest in London. It is known for its face looking towards the river, but also has a face looking towards the Strand. In the words of architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner, the building "is thoroughly unsubtle, but succeeds in holding its own in London's river front."

These 10 year olds were not put off by the idea of painting these shells without pencil first. They then used a line drawing on an acetate overlay to create an extra dimension.
Altolamprologus Compressiceps sp. shell or Sumbu? Based on colors/shape i'm guessing Compressiceps sp. shell.
Brand new (late 2016?) Shell gas bar in Pense, Saskatchewan which is about halfway between Regina and Moose Jaw. It replaced a small, unbranded outlet next door.
Here's a photo from back in early September. The cicadas were leaving their old shells behind, and starting life over in a new skin. It's actually a cool thought...we have the same opportunity if we really want it.
