Description
A statue of Mary at the Carmelite Monastery. I love the shells that surround her and how they're so worn and aged.

Great composition, with those abalone looming large in the foreground.
Ahh - I see Andrea also thinks it is abalone shells... Great statue and capture my friend!
You don't see many of those abalone shells around any more; when I was a kid they were everywhere on the beaches in Southern California. I think I remember reading that they're protected now? Wonderful find and capture.
Great capture Marilyn, nice shells too!!
Very pretty.
The shells are a beautiful touch, nice capture
those some big shells
What a shot! I should be sleeping, but as usual, I'm scrounging around the galleries for a few minutes, then turning in. I love this image, it's quite relaxing and deliciously surreal. Should shells be that big in relation to a statue? Yeah, okay, they are, and that's what's so cool about this. I also love the light and the subtle sense of color. Yeah, this is a good one!
When I first saw this, before reading the comments, I thought, "Chip will think they look like giant woodlice." But apparently it was just me. LOL! I agree with him about the surreal business, though. It does have that vibe!
Interesting material for an alcove but a beautiful capture and POV. Dana
