On holiday this year (2007) in Scotland, Isle of Whithorn (actually a penisula) and saw boats coming into harbour. It’s a rare event apparently, only every few months. So next day at sunset we were there again!
A close-up detail of a Painted Scallop shell (Gloriapallium pallium) which is not painted at all. The colors and markings are 100% natural. Nature never ceases to amaze me…. This shell is from my personal collection of specimen grade seashells.

Tasmanian Blennies are fantastic little fish that love to hide in any hole, whether it’s a shell or even a piece of rubbish found under the pier. This guy was sitting in the perfect pose, and I took about 20 photos, getting closer and closer before I finally got this one.

A fractal made in Apophysis 3D hack. This one is a grand julian using my favorite center, the oscillated bubble.
Ah, this is my favorite fractal that I ever managed to make. This fractal is when I finally discovered the real potential that the Apophysis 3D hack had. Entered into Alphabet Soup for the letter H “heart”
This was inspired by seeing henna designs done on hands and wondering what sort of designs I would create. / I love the idea of these designs as they are only temporary therefore they are either new or gone. / It was drawn with texta in a sketch book starting by drawing around my hand. It is blue because that is how I was feeling at the time.
This is ‘The Scallop’ sculpture at Aldeburgh in Suffolk, and is a tribute to Sir Benjamin Britten (local composer). It has been a contraversial piece in its 5 year existence, and has been vandalised with paint by a few disgruntled locals in the past, who have also campaigned for its removal, citing it as inappropriate for a rural area. However, I really like it, so I say bollocks to the philistines ;-) For the record, Aldeburgh is an ultra-conservative town where property prices have gone through the roof thanks to wealthy second-home owners from London all clamouring for their own piece of seaside playground, so that local people can no longer get a look in. Aldeburgh, despite being undeniably lovely to look at, featured in the recent book ‘Crap Towns’ Volume One, thanks largely to the people who own the town and deign to occasionally live there.
I’d like to dedicate this image to my daughter-in-law, Chrissy Barry, who loves black and white. You can view her gallery here: Christine Barry

Taken with a Canon 400D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 17mm, F11, shutter speed 1/100 seconds, ISO100, edited in Photoshop. Hambling’s Scallop (2003) stands on the north end of Aldeburgh beach. It is a tribute to Benjamin Britten and is pierced with the words “I hear those voices that will not be drowned” from his opera Peter Grimes.
Cape Cod, Mass in August 2008. / Scallops are diverse, with over 300 species of scallops living on the ocean floor worldwide. They range from shallow waters to areas several hundred feet deep. Scallops, classified as bivalve mollusks, hide some amazing secrets. For one, about sixty primitive tiny bright blue eyes eyes reside in rows along a scallop’s mantle edge to detect motion, light and dark. A scallop can easily regrow any lost or injured eyes. Although these eyes may or may not produce clear images, the ability to sense an object moving with the speed of one of the scallop’s predators allows the scallop to save its skin (or to be scientifically correct, its shells) by either shutting immediately or swimming away. Secondly, scallops possess an unusual trait which most other bivalves lack: the ability to swim. Scallops can propel themselves away from danger by contracting their powerful muscles and “clapping” their shells together, forcing water out through openings on both sides of their shell hinge. They can move forwards backwards, make turns, and right themselves in this fashion. Scallops swim particularly when faced with a predator (e.g., a seastar). Otherwise, if left relatively undisturbed, scallops are fairly sedentary creatures that lie on the seafloor as they feed by filtering microorganisms from the water. / (Natalie Lanzatella)

On Cape Cod in the town of Barnstable a small inlet moors many boats. When the tide is out, the boats sit on the sand and the clam and scallop fisherman come and try their hand at getting dinner. Taken with a Canon XTI / f/8 / 1/4000 / ISO- 1600 / focal length- 24mm
