Description
Another view of the distressed oyster shell I posted recently.
'Distressed oyster' makes me think of The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Carroll.
In the unlikely event that you don't know this delight, the original version is Here

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

...and another delightful capture. This one looks like a geode, and the layers in the top---right above the black hole?---have a beautiful dark luminosity, like this were a mineral of some kind. It also looks like a bread creation of some kind, baked with spices and maybe some tomato. Again, your black surrounding makes this a museum piece. You're getting revealing angles on this each time, and producing a genuine 'presentation'...Beautifully done; and, when large, you really reveal what a complex of strata, textures and colors this simple 'home' has in it.
And I read the Lewis Carroll, and yes, it's a delight. I wanted to say, "oysters? get a clue!" (I think we should all, for one day, have to write everything in rhyme. Can you imagine what a mess that would be? So all our comments and descriptions on RR would be in rhyme. That would go over well, wouldn't it..."really nice pic, your blacks are so thick!"...oh yeah, that would be popular...)

Super shot, Andrea and I love the warm colors..I think I should find the oister shells, I found soon 40 years ago when they digged out the cesspool :-) Once this place was under water.

Some wonderful light and details. That opening, for some reason, reminds me of the mouth of a whale shark.

One of my faves since childhood, that poem; we had an LP of "Alice in Wonderland" done by some orchestral group with singing and poetry reading, and it's forever etched in my memories. This is another stunning look at the oyster!
