I've seen these many times - tiny shell covered huts in Grosvenor gardens, close to Victoria station. This morning they looked lovely in the sunshine.
The link below shares lots of information about them, they were built in 1952, and were designed by the then architect-in-chief of the National Monuments and Palaces of France, Jean Moreux.
Most of the shells are still attached - but if you look closely, there are a handful of gaps.

The Shell Collection, which is specially designed for FueraDentro by the dutch designer Jan des Bouvrie, consists of two chairs, a bank sofa, four tables and a sunbed. The fibers of the chairs, sofa and sunbed are made of Batyline and the frames are made of stainless steel. This combination of materials makes the SHELL collection ideal for outdoor use.
The most notable characteristics of the SHELL collection is the rounded shape of the shelllike bucket seat, which brings a stunning sense of shelter. The seatings are carried out in a coaxial structured Batyline® fibre. The frames are made of electro-polished stainless steel and the tabletops are glass.
Shell Island, also known as Mochras, is a peninsula lying west of Llanbedr in Gwynedd, Wales. It was formed after the River Artro was diverted by the Earl of Winchelsey in 1819 from its previous course where it entered the sea to the south of Shell Island. Prior to this, access to the ancient settlement on the island would have been through the village of Llandanwg, which is now across the estuary.
Steve and Evan found this shell in an indentation in the dirt in our side yard. A bird or other animal must have dropped it there.

I don't know what the shell in the middle is but the other ones around are Pauas. The interior of these shells is really nice, I might try posting a pic about that soon.

Continuing with my song title week. I had a hard time thinking of a photo idea today. I knew I wanted to include at least one song by Heather Nova (she's one of my favorite artists), so this is what I came up with.

This craft artist was painting sea shells at Lulworth Cove in Dorset. I haven't seen a painter use his hand (and trousers) as a paint pallet before.
