Margate, Kent, England. In 1835 Mr James Newlove lowered his son into a hole in the ground while digging a pond. The young boy re-appeared and spoke of an underground labyrinth of chambers covered in strange symbolic mosaics of shells. It is still unclear exactly what the purpose of this grotto was but many believe it to have been an ancient pagan temple, whilst others dismiss it as being the meeting place of a strange cult.

Woke up this morning to Sam's empty shell. There was no sign of Sam anywhere. He must be in hiding under the sand.

 

He did materialise the next day, in a different shell.

A small Minneapolis-Moline Sheller I found on the internet.

Lots of poor people drop by my office trying to make a bit of money by selling all sorts of stuff like snacks and trivialities like this desk decor made from shells. According to the letter handed to me by the fellow who sold this to me, it was crafted by prison inmates as part of a livelihood program set up for them.

Taken at Benone, Northern Ireland.

My daughter collected way to many shells. These shells were from her first day; she later resorted and refined her collection throughout the week. - View On Black

Close up of a Razor Shell (Ensis siliqua) Linnaeus, 1758

 

We have loads of Razor Shells on Rhyl Beach, and the winter storms wash the empty shells up in their millions. They're usually bleached white and rubbed smooth, but this fresh one still had it's beautiful pale olive coating - despite which, I decided to do the images in Black & White!

 

The Razor shell is very confusingly named, and to be honest, you're best rearching by latin name, as every country seems to have it's own interpretation of what a Razor Shell is!

Anglers call them "Razorfish" just to confuse everybody, when they are of course Bivalves/Molluscs.

 

Other common names in use include Pod Razor, Razor and Razor Clam

Just set tight, and let the shells come to you, then grab 'em.

Itty Bitty shells, I set the camera on the sand so the foreground looks large.
