World Map United States Florida Clearwater

Clearwater Beach. It was little too empty. People stayed away in 2009 from spending money on travel, hotel and even sun cabana. Fine with me. I negotiated good price in the motel, where I was staying. (These days you can do it even in the USA!)
These are actualy snail shells, limax epithet iridia. The large snails, leave them on the beach, when they enter the ocean for their yearly bath.
I was really lucky to be there at the right time of the year, to record this special ritual!! ;-)
...and if you believe that, I have some swamp land in Florida to sell.......

Beautiful view,Nice capture. LIKE. Dear friend you are right. It should have been with feet. Actually the peak is very high about 14000 feet from Sea level and it has started raining. We were in a hurry and could not capture it properly. Thank you for you comments...

I know, people do not comments on little things like that, but sometimes little extra time and care would produce a better photograph.
This one is a prime example! I should have more diagonal composition and have the first shell full! as someone commented on first page!

Tom, if this would be my only offender, I would be quite happy.
Bashir cut off the legs of poor Iranian sheppard, so I critisize him a bit!
Did you read my explanation why the shells are empty??
