Seashells

in #travel2 months ago

I saw many beautiful seashells at the souvenir shops on the promenade in Dahab. Nicely cleaned and polished.

I personally prefer natural stuff so I rather pick my own from the shore. Here are some nice specimens.
All of these were found by me and were dead for a long time.

I added the coloured stones for decoration at home.

Unfortunately the photos can't show the real size and I didn't want to put the measure tape beside them. It would ruin the whole thing.

But you can trust me, they are around 12 cm long and the one with stones is even bigger. Close to 20 cm.

They are all nice memories of our winter vacation and perfect addition to our travel souvenirs.

Enjoy your weekend, my friends.

I love the pattern on the second shell. It looks so beautiful.
sometimes the souvenir that you pick by yourself can be a lot more interesting and hold more memories that the one that you bought on the shop isn't it?

My original name means conch actually and I have also have a peciulier hooby with sea shells, where I roam around the beach for hours to collect washed up colorful or big sized shells, conches etc. The first shell that you shared seems pretty big holding all those colorful stones inside and last ones also seems old having so man layers formed.

They are all nice memories of our winter vacation and perfect addition to our travel souvenirs.
