Next Depot by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Via Flickr:
Seattle, Washington, USA. Please enjoy a long exposure photograph featuring some exciting light trails produced by the traffic that flowed past me that evening. My fascination with light trails was what originally catapulted me into night-time photography several years ago, on a very cold night in Gastown in Vancouver. I’ll never forget that moment as I ultimately think it’s what led to everything I’ve done in photography and the people I have met since, including many of you. If some of you are familiar with the Gwyneth Paltrow movie, “Sliding Doors”, I think my discovery of light trails was my “Do I get on the train or off the train?” moment in photography. I think I’m still on the train, traveling to as many destinations as possible, always waiting for the next depot. I don’t create such photographs nearly as often anymore, so this image is essentially a tribute (and personal reminder) to why I love and continue to experiment with photography.

Campanile giganteum is a now extinct species of exceptionally large sea snail which lived throughout much of the worlds oceans, particularly the Tethys Sea, from the Ypresian to the Bartonian of the Eocene some 56 to 38 million years ago. The first remains consisting of a near complete shell were named and described by French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de Lamarck in 1804. Since then hundreds of campanile giganteum remains have been recovered from Spain, England, Crotia, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan and in particular the Paris Basin region of France especially Cave aux Coquillages (The Cave of Shells). Campanile giganteum is primarily known from its distinctive elongate conical shell, of which there are intact specimens ranging from 16 to 35 inches (40 to 90cms), with some partial specimens indicating they might have gotten upwards of 47 inches (120cms). Not even factoring in the soft tissue body, these shells alone mark campanile giganteum amongst the largest shelled gastropods to ever live. In life campanile giganteum would have inhabited shallow seas and warm coastal waters feeding upon algae, sea weed, and other aquatic plants.
