A part of our collection of sea shells gathered over the years from various beaches around the world!

The Shell House is a classical modernist architectural masterpiece that stands overlooking the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin, Germany. It was designed by Emil Fahrenkamp and was built in 1930–31. In retrospect it is regarded as Fahrenkamp’s masterpiece and one of the most significant office block designs of the Weimar Republic (see Wikipedia).
....... a tiny shell lay camouflaged on the remains of the bark of a tree trunk, washed up on the beach ......
Simple but effective, caught in a furrow on Abersoch beach made from the retrieving sea, this shell highlighted by the late evening sunshine created an interesting shot which for me was emotional given it was on the last evening of our holiday. The black and white conversion helps with the mood of the image.
A pair of SD40-2's head back to CN's Scotford Yard after lifting interchange traffic from CP. Shell Canada's Chemical plant and upgrader loom in the distance. If you look above the inflatable cow on the far left you will see a tan structure and stack, which is where I am employed. Not often do I get to combine work and play in a single shot.
Shell Falls in Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming plunges for 120 feet above PreCambrian Granite. During the summer, water drops over Shell Falls at a rate of 3,600 gallons per second. The Creek and Falls follows fractures in the resistant granite. The creek and canyon were named for the shell fossils found in the sedimentary canyon walls above the granite.
i wanted to include in this description a shot of her from 5 years ago, taken on the same lake in winter. flickr doesn't give a way to do that unless the image has been on flickr, so no image. the contrast is huge. teenageness abucts our children and sends them to a faraway planet. forever. but the chrysalis left behind holds something worth waiting for.
IANR BUWA rolls through Shell Rock, Iowa on the start of its trip down to Waterloo with the F40/Slug duo. Only time will tell how much longer these units will stick around under new ownership.
Smile on Saturday - Shells
Came across this hinged mussel shell when walking the dog in Gunners Park, not far from East Beach, Shoeburyness. Picked it up and popped in on a pyracantha bush nearby !!
In most marine mussels the shell is longer than it is wide, being wedge-shaped or asymmetrical. The external colour of the shell is often dark blue, blackish, or brown, while the interior is silvery and somewhat nacreous
(Nacre also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs (like mussels) as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent)

For the Macro Mondays challenge "Patterns in Nature" ( July 15th 2019)
Seashells always amaze me. How can so many shells have the same design, patterning, colour and size! Maybe they are as diverse among the seashell world as we are - but to foreign eyes they all look the same ;o)
There's a shot of the seashell in the first comment field, along with the the size-guide I use for MM.
HMM to everyone, and have a great week ;o)

Happy photography to you all!
So my old macro lense (Tamron 90mm) died a death, due to fungus :\ Had to replace it, like for like, and I remember why I liked this lense so much in the first place. Slapped a Raynox 250 on it and got this macro of some very small shells. The focus is *ever so slightly* off, but it's good enough.
macro monday theme: broken
The broken shell of a sea urchin (probably Psammechinus miliaris). Size of this piece is about 2cm.

A tree entirely made up of of beautiful sea shells directly off the beach of Cayo Costa Island, S.W. Florida. (only accessible by boat) We each hung our shell and admired the beautiful wildlife at this wonderful Nature Conservation Reserve.
