The Universe in a Seashell
The above photo shows California's latest cosmic creation. He used sea shells, sea glass, river stones and glass beads to create his version of the Universe. Although it may appear to be scattered about haphazardly, each stone, shell, pile of sea glass and glass bead were carefully placed to create his Universe. According to California, the stones that are placed in a line represent our solar system. The pile of sea glass is a nebula. The glass beads represent moons of the planets within our solar system and stars. The various sea shells on the outer edges represent black holes and distant glaxies.
