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 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...
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.

A real low point on this day....but I still took a daily pic, even though it was getting late.

Often derided as one of London's ugliest buildings, but I like it.

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.
