This location was built and opened in 2000; the site previously housed Boulevard Texaco and FoodMartsat.
I'm really pleased with these pendants. Loving Kaz's fab encased murrini, a la Clare Scott; the pointy end, with the help of George Harper-East; and the barnacle stringer, due to Jolene Wolfe!
Using a Reverse Mount Macro Adapter I turned my 17-85 lens around to capture a macro of the ribs of this shell.

Several Decades ago, the Oil Co Shell, put out a number of series of cards. They also sold albums to put these cards in. Everytime you went to Shell for petrol, or anything else, they gave you some cards. The idea was to collect the whole lot, and generally they were most obliging in allowing you to go through the box, to get the cards you were missing.
I only have the Transport Card series left, the others have been long thrown out.
I have scanned each page. This is part 1.
The outside of the Blue Shell Book. I cut pieces of matte board and covered them with mulberry paper to glue on the cover to add dimension.
Liparus enters the drydock already occupied by two 30,000 DWT Esso Product carriers, one of which is the Esso Bayonne.
Pretty much all of what can be seen here has been swept away. Back then ships were typically dry-docked every couple of years for re-painting and general repairs / modifications. Today, seldom would they need to visit a ship yard, certainly no more frequently than five years or more. The market for yards such as Lisnave, which were developed to service the convoys of supertankers that ploughed between the Persian Gulf and North West Europe - a trade that no longer exists, collapsed particularly as European yards could not compete with those in the East that could exploit cheap (slave) labour.
While on Holiday with the family in Shell Island we watched an amazing sunset... who needs photo editing when they're captured just like this!
