The Oyster Shell

This picture has a little bit of magic in it.It started out as an ordinary photograph of a stairwell in a multi-storey carpark spiralling up to infinity.The shape was interesting but the picture looked too clinical.I added a few effects:thermal heatmap,and a hypnotic effect which splits and rotates the sections of the photograph.The effect above is what I ended up with.
The centre of the picture instantly reminded me of an oyster shell but where was the pearl?I decided not to use the picture and was looking for another idea.
Half an hour later, the post arrived and there was a tiny box delivered to me from my daughter.Inside was a handwritten note, a card which simply said 'missing you' and a little badge inscribed with the letter 'B' What was this?
It might be nice to find a pearl hidden in an oyster shell but I had just been given something much more significant,much more touching and infinitely more beautiful.My badge and message was sent ,with love from my daughter and good wishes from a group of friends.
So, back to my original idea. I give you- - - - my 'Oyster Shell' with the tiny box containing the greatest gift of all , my little Blip badge.Thankyou Blip for giving me a new interest in life .
