This is a little leftover from the summer. A million mussels live on a rock, where they hang out and form a community. It's impossible to touch them and not be slightly surprised by the way they're stuck on the rock. I've been told they open at high tide.
Statue coated with shells in the Residenz museum. Like other items in the museum, this was reconstructed after the destruction of the museum during World War II.
Hours are spent looking for these on summer holidays. First with my parents, now with my children.
Some of the shells are happy, some sad and most look like finger prints.

My family has been venturing down to the Florida keys for nearly 40 years now. It remains my favorite vacation spot. Aside from the color and pace of life, I think the appeal is mostly sentimental. Things change slowly down here, and sometimes they don't seem to change at all. While so much of South Florida has been overrun with development, the Keys continue to put up a fight. Perhaps it is a matter of geography and topography that keep the developers at bay. I am not sure. But every time I pass a little tourist shack, selling trinkets and shells, I can't help but smile. Just another thread keeping that little boy in me alive.
Shell on 'beach number 1', in the east of the city. The beaches around Yantai are often crowded with locals and tourists alike in the summer months, Im not sure why as all the beaches that I have seen are either covered with sharp broken shells and or pollution, not to mention the danger of the polluted ocean itself
My granddaughter was fascinated by the shells she found on the beach. The cork is so you can gauge the size of her finds.
I could not add these photo's seperately this is a custom made Harley/Davidson as a tribute to those who have served in the Military the materials for this bike were provided by the U.S. military as far as the Shells used for the hand grips, the foot pegs and the hoses that you will see on the side of the motor. Right down to the hand grenades used as the turnsignals, the M-16 wheels were custom made about 30 miles from my hometown at a superb wheel shop this is a fitting tribute please see all of the photo's of this special bike www.flickr.com/photos/jmtilley/sets/72157616365758934/
I wish I could have done something on this bike in a studio.
