"Warm shades of brown: Two spiral shells together" is a macro photo of two shells (snail shells). These two shells have a beautiful pattern with various warm brown colours, which remind me very much of autumn.
This type of snail shell is called, if I picked it correctly, Phoenicobius Aratus. The spiral on the front of the shell is not only visible as relief in the shell but is further emphasised by the beautiful dark lines, which in this way clarify the spiral even more.
The colour of the shell becomes increasingly darker the further you look towards the back of the shell (i.e. on the other side than the spiral). At the beginning of the spiral, the shell is cream-coloured, and at the end it has turned dark brown.
Because these two snail shells are on a mirrored surface, you can see the shells reflected in the ground surface, which gives a nice effect.
This piece could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the bedroom, kitchen, dining room or just above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room!
