A collection of shells I`ve collected over quite some years, which I now have made in to a series of photograps. More to come!

Living up to its name. Masses of whelks, cockles, mussels, razor shells, clams, oysters - it is impossible to walk without crunching on shells.
Some kind of shelled critter at Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World. Has some very nice colouring on the shell
This is a shell water fountain that is on the grounds at Spanish Point. This was put together by the family that lived there.
I named it Lazarus, because I thought he was dead at the pet store I worked at. I put the shell in a glass of water to clean it. Out came Lazaurs!
This amused me, it was a Muscle shell, maybe dead, but covered with Live barnacles... put it in the water and they all started looking out.
Reminded me of MC Escher Planetoids... I always see Escher... He Da Man!!!

04. Thames Barge Driving (Shell Bay)
Watermen and Lightermen - Watermen carry passengers whilst Lightermen carry goods and cargoes.
From ancient times the Thames has been the main highway for moving people and goods from the Estuary to London and beyond. The use of ferries was the only link across the River Thames before the building of the first London Bridge by the Romans. However evidence of the importance of the River was provided by Stow, who in his survey of 1598 related that some 40,000 men earned a living on or about the River. The Act of 1514 was passed by Parliament which regulated the fares charged on the River Thames. However the Watermen who carried passengers continued to act independently and an Act of 1555 appointed Rulers of all Watermen and Wherrymen working between Gravesend and Windsor, thus the Company of Watermen and Lightermen was born. The Act of 1555 also introduced apprenticeships for a term of one year for all boys wishing to learn the watermen’s trade and this was extended to seven years by a further Act in 1603.

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.
Nudibranchs are a group of sea slugs characterized by having no shell, thus having their gills exposed. The name in latin, nudibranchia means precisely that: nudi (nude, exposed) + branchia (gills).
Instead of the protective shell, the nudibranchs use other intricate defense mechanisms and that's one of the reasons they are such an interesting group to study. Not to mention their exquisite appearance.
