Asymetric Shell
March 13th, 2009When Leta and I did our second beach walk, she was fascinated by these, but would not touch them. She did slowly warm to the sand and made a mesa-like sandcastle by picking the grains of sand one by one and distributing them like she does cheese with her nachos.
I like how these look a bit like fingers, with the lighter parts at the bottom like finger nails. Kind of freaky if you look at it that way for too long.
SO LOOK AWAY, internet. o

Thank you for the finger image. I’m now not sure I’ll be going to the beach ever again.
Yeah, let’s go with fingers. Instead of what I was thinking they looked like. Which I’m not going to tell you. YOU’RE WELCOME.
and here i thought there was a reason why it was an “assymetric shell.” but it does look more like a corpse’s fingernail instead.
HA! Typo. Fixed. Thanks!
Kinda looks like the head gear of the aliens in Independence Day.
Eww, thanks for the fingernails image. We’ll see if I can go back to the beach… eventually…
P.S. Nice freudian slip there. For whatever reason, I also always type “assymetric”. And “hold on a sex”.
um, i was fine with it until you had to go with the zombie-like fingernail imagery.
HOWEVER. love how every shade shows in the grains. 70-200 lens?
