These are TINY shells from Australia. I love them!
Experiment - I might have to do this over again, as it is bugging me at the already!
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!
Lhagang monastery is also called “Tagong monastery”. Its full name is “Minyag Lhagang Yongdzog Rabgyal Lhakang Thongdrol Samdrubling” in Tibetan.
Lhagang monastery was built in 652 by the 33rd Tibet king of Songtsam Gampo for his Chinese wife – the Princess Wencheng. The monastery was the last one among of the 108 temples and monasteries that he ordered to build across Tibetan plateau.
Lhagang monastery is thought to be the 1st Tibetan Buddhism monastery in Kham. It was the initial monastery practicing the Kamar Kagyu lineage then converting to be Sakya Pa. It now has 108 white stupas behind the main temple and hundreds of prayer wheels around the monastery.
According to Tibetan Buddhism, Huchen Kara, whom was one of the Indian Eighty Mahasiddhas, visited this holy place and built a stupa. He named it Drupthok Choeten which literally means “Stupa of Mahasiddhas”. Later great scholars of Brahmin Saraha, Brahmin Gunpo, Vairochana, Padmasambhava, Yudra, Phakpa and four other Minyag local scholars built stupas which still exist alongside other holy remains like the speaking statue of Avalokiteshvara, Divine Conch Shell, Trumpet and conch of Vairochana, footprint of Dharmaraj Phakpa….

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.
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!

This was made from the Blue Shell - Thanks Tohst for the idea.
They all look better when they're smaller.
Been fallin' in love with wide crops; especially the 16:9.
Since 1915 the Shell Martinez Refinery has been a constant progression of technical advancement. It is currently one of the most complex refineries in the world. Although it holds a title as major as that it is usually just something that most traveling through the the area on a daily basis just overlook.
