And for completeness, a close-up of the most recognisable landmark in my home town, the Sydney Opera House. It's difficult getting a shot like this without tourists all over the place. I was lucky to get a gap big enough to take this.
The shells are so white, it's impossible to capture them gleaming in the sun without underexposing everything else.
Taken on Efke KB21 black and white film, expired in April 1977, for the Old Film Project

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.

Greenpeace-Aktivisten protestieren morgen (Samstag 20.7.) vor dem Kölner Dom gegen Shell. Mit einem zwei Meter hohen knallgelben Holzpfeil machen die Umweltschützer auf Pläne des Konzerns aufmerksam, in der Arktis nach Öl zu bohren. Auf dem Pfeil steht: „Wäre hier Öl, Shell würde bohren!“ Der Protest von Greenpeace Köln ist Teil einer bundesweiten Aktion. In über 50 Städten markieren morgen Aktivisten Sehenswürdigkeiten in ihren Städten mit Pfeilen. „Shell setzt mit seinen Ölplänen das Überleben der Arktis aufs Spiel. Wenn wir die Pläne von Shell nicht stoppen, wird eine der letzten unberührten Regionen dieser Erde von der Ölindustrie ausgebeutet“, sagt Jordan Dantchev von Greenpeace Köln. „Mit unserer bundesweiten Aktion zeigen wir, dass Shell keine Rücksicht nimmt und überall bohrt, wenn es um Profite geht.“ Passanten werden von den Aktivisten eingeladen, selbst für die Arktis aktiv zu werden. So können sie eigene Fotos von potentiellen
Shell-Bohrstellen mit einem Pfeil markieren und in eine Online-Galerie
hochladen (bit.ly/oeloeloel)."

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.
I got this shell in New Zealand when I went there in 8th grade. It was one of the most beautiful and amazing trips I've ever been on in my life. For two days and one night we stayed at the most amazing hotel in all of New Zealand, I'm not just saying that because I loved it there, that's like it's catch phrase lmao. It was HUGE and beautiful and they had like 3 beaches and a waterfall and it was amazing. My sister and I found this shell on one of the beaches and the guy giving us the tour let us keep it. I think it's SO beautiful.
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
Shot this on my way to Shell for Thanksgiving.
I was wearing shorts since I'd left Orlando the day before and hadn't changed yet. And had to trudge through almost a foot of snow, getting my shoes and lower legs all soaked and frozen. Then I almost couldn't get my car out of the snow bank I'd had to park in. The visitor's center is closed and I guess they didn't see any need to plow the parking lot or even enough for a car to pull off there.
