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.
In our understanding of what is beautiful...far greater than what is physical and can be felt by the senses...but found in all the good deeds that we do for each other for God's Love...that beauty is for free for everyone to be inspired with their Heart...that in turn we may all see what is beautiful found in Holy Virtues of Love throughout Humanity...for these are heartfelt...

Photos taken on Jan 11, 2009 of a former Shell Gasoline Station. This station has gone through a series of owners and changes. About 5 years ago, it was cleaned up to its current appearance, looking more like how it originally appeared when it operated as a Shell Station. Located at Vermont and Venice Blvd. in Los Angeles California.

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.
I observed this hermit crab trying to make up its mind about which shell to wear. It tried the bigger one on, then the smaller one, then changed back to the bigger one.
Exotic conchology : or figures and descriptions of rare, beautiful, or undescribed shells ... / by William Swainson ; edited by Sylvanus Hanely.
London : H.G. Bohn, 1841.
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.
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.

Fog rolls in over Shell Beach but sits just high enough to get a glimpse of the setting sun.
Did you manage to find the fisherman? I swear I'm not trying to incorporate an aspect of "Where's Waldo?" into all my pieces. :P
