The Shell Centre, in London, is one of the two central offices, and serves as the registered address, of oil major Shell (the other, its main headquarters, is in The Hague), a prominent feature on the South Bank of the River Thames near County Hall, and now forms the backdrop to the London Eye.
The original Shell Centre comprised the tower building and three now demolished adjoining nine storey wings (collectively formerly known as the "Upstream Building").
The Shell Centre, in London, is one of the two central offices, and serves as the registered address, of oil major Shell (the other, its main headquarters, is in The Hague). It is located on Belvedere Road in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is a prominent feature on the South Bank of the River Thames near County Hall, and now forms the backdrop to the London Eye.
The original Shell Centre comprised the tower building and three now demolished adjoining nine storey wings (collectively formerly known as the "Upstream Building"). The original development also included a separate building known as the "Downstream Building", which was separated from the Upstream Building by the railway viaduct between Charing Cross and Waterloo East.
The Downstream Building was disposed of by Shell in the 1990s, and is now a block of residential apartments known as the White House, and has been heightened by a storey.

A new beach series, as promised.
And hey, I am back in business on www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=9515 again selling a few sets of my most popular prints after a looooong hiatus during pregnancy and the birth of my wonderful daughter.
Now that I have an assistant, I may actually have time to keep up with those kinds of orders in addition to selling through my web site and to corporate collectors.
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! It's Mother's Day on Sunday, so remember your Mama!

A real low point on this day....but I still took a daily pic, even though it was getting late.
Shell Centre London
Built: 1961
Sir Howard Robertson
Often derided as one of London's ugliest buildings, but I like it.
Set for redevelopment although the tower will stay. A great video of the building and its facilities (including a swimming pool - is that still there?) on youtube here... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zUQD1p9bXY
The Shell Project - Originally started as an exercise to test some of the features of my new Casio point and shoot camera but turned into an extended study of a single abalone shell. The series shows the results of photographing that shell at different focusing modes and lighting conditions.
Shells found on the beach in Orcas Islands. The seagulls pick it up and drop them on rocks for them to crack open, so they could eat them.
Covered the len with blue see-thru plastic sheet (colour cellophane) as a filter. Carelessly using 1600 high ISO :(
the weekend forecast looks dark and gloomy, so i thought i'd post a few more photos from my sunny walk at the beach the other day.
Discovered in 1835, Margate's Shell Grotto is an astonishing find; 21 metres of winding passages decorated with 4.6 million shells. The walls are covered in images of gods and goddesses, trees of life and patterns of whelks, mussels and oysters. Some think it is an ancient Pagan grotto, others that it is simply an ornate Regency folly; but with no definitive explanation or history, the Shell Grotto is Kent's greatest mystery.
Six pieces. Inspired by Peter Borcherds' "simple fanfare", but also has the same underlying structure as my shell cube.
