Eastbound SE98 derailed while passing over Shippenport Road bridge in Roxbury Township creating a mess for the EL. Reports stated that rotted ties on the bridge caused the rails to open up causing the derailment. The scene is looking westbound towards Lake Hopatcong with EL 432 on the westbound main at the front of the wreck train and 411 and C185 on the eastbound main just before the wreck site. Hulcher Railroad Services were on the scene with their "Sidewinders" helping EL clean up the mess. Thanks to Art Erdman for info about the wreck. 02-13-1974 Howard Kent Jr.
Its been an iconic scene on the Gold Coast motorway for many a decade but getting a decent image of the pink FX Holden which appears as if its has just smashed through this old house and come to a holt precariously resting on the front verandah has been elusive .
I'm nearly always driving , its the wrong time of the day and the light is not right , the traffic is far too heavy , to dangerous to stop , let alone get back on safely , which is nearly always the case at this spot on the highway .. For one reason or another its been a near impossible task capturing this what looks like a scene created straight from the hand of cartoonist Eric Jolliffe with his old Aussie life themes in the vane of his Saltbush Bills Ettamogah pub and the like ..
Dinkum Aussie stuff this ole wreck of a house with its bright pink Holden on the porch .

The long hike down to the black beach of Sólheimasandur is totally worth it to see this surreal scene. Over 40 years of rough weather is definitely wearing it down, but I'm amazed that so much of the wreckage is still there.
Another shot taken at Lower Upnor on the River Medway, Kent UK. This part of the river was the location of an attack by the Dutch fleet during Tudor times. There are many wrecks in the area though most are relatively recent.
The wreck of tug Carbon . It was being towed from Portland to Southampton for salvage when the towing line broke off the Needles in 1947. The ship drifted into Compton Bay on the Isle of Wight and ran aground on the rocks , its remained here rusting ever since ,only accessible during certain spring low tides .
I walked out onto the slippery bedrock around 5:30am this morning with friend and fellow photographer Rich Smith and was also joined by another friend and fellow photographer Jamie Currie slightly later on.

The wreck of the steam trawler 'Shereton'. It was built in 1907.
In 1947 the boat broke free from its moorings and was washed up on Hunstanton Beach Norfolk.
Sarsia, falling quite literally to pieces at the East Float, Wallasey. Apparently it was a marine research vessel, now I guess the marine life live in it, what comes around goes around I guess!
The perfect night to photograph this old wreck. It was perfectly calm and the tide was right. I placed my orange light in the wreck, and then a blue light on one side and purple on the other. This image is a stack of 9 to really smooth out the sky and the water.
I was on one of the aran islands (Inish Oirr) on sunday. It is a beautiful island, well worth a visit, if nothing else but for the flight over! This ship, The MV Plassy, was washed ashore sometime in the 1960's. It was on its way from Belfast to limerick when it got caught up in a storm. Some Years later a bigger storm moved the ship to where it lays now.
