The tide is in so I have to wait for the water level to drop before carrying on up the coast on the bike. Ravenglass can be seen on the far bank and it is the only coastal village in the English Lake District National Park.
On the rear of the Denver-based wreck train at Rocky, Colorado, on March 5, 2000, is a former Rio Grande heavyweight passenger car, and just ahead of it is a former troop sleeper. Both are support cars for the No. 030 50-ton derrick, a rebuilt former Rock Island machine, seen a few more cars forward. As the westbound train climbs into the Front Range of the Rockies, threatening storm clouds move in—most apropos for the occasion.

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.
Some old wrecks on the beach at Langstone Harbour!! (Out for walkies with Dave)
Trying to prove I am able to find the self timer on my new camera!!
The wreck of a crashed US Navy Douglas C-117D at Sólheimasandur ("the sands of Solhmeimasondur") in Southern Iceland. We were lead to this amazing site by a chance meeting with a fellow photographer at Halsanefs Hellir beach near the coastal town of Vik. He stated that this was "the real shit!" which we took to mean it's pretty amazing, which indeed it was. We spent a good while photographing it from all angles, before rain finally halted the proceedings.
The Douglas C-117D (USN 17171) apparently ran out of fuel after getting lost in bad weather and crash landed on November 24th, 1974, luckily without any causalities. The crew later discovered they had switched to the wrong fuel tank and actually had plenty in reserve; that apparently, was put to good use by the local farmer for sometime afterwards. The plane is not where it crashed, having being towed to higher ground for salvage. During these operations a helicopter crashed resulted in fatalities, and salvage operations were aborted leaving the wreck you see today.
Although completely unknown to us, the crash site is quite well know in Iceland and has also featured in a video of the Icelandic rock band Sigur Rós.

Une touche de couleur vibrante dans la grisaille automnale. Cette vieille coque de pêcheur, immatriculée à Paimpol, termine doucement sa vie dans un recoin de Plougrescant.
Ah the ss Dicky beach beach wreck....
Shes a great thing. Every time you go there you meet someone who is up to the same thing you are.
It gets so busy that even just getting a shot can be a pain.
So you got to get up early or stay late.
Somehow I got a cool zig zag thing with the clouds. with the moon bleaching threw.
The other thing about shooting this spot is there is always boats out there. I often count 9 on my walks on any given day. So expect them to show up like in the left of this shot.
Enjoy comments Welcome I'll respond ASAP.
Thanks Scotty.
SD40-2W 5330 is somewhat of an oddball in the fleet of remaining SD's.The unit was involved in a wreck out west, and was rebuilt using pieces from other retired units. The conductor's cab side was damaged in the wreck, with the section being cut out and replaced with a panel from GP40-2W #9583. The long hood end came from the same GP40, as the original numbers are visible on the hood end. The 5330 wore the North American paint scheme pre wreck, and with the addition of a long hood end from a zebra striped sister the unit now sports a "hybrid" scheme. The engineers side even features one stripe facing the opposite direction as the rest.
picked up the canon 14 f/2.8 for the weekend - can't imagine what this sucker would look like on a full frame rig.
The remains of the Kallatina, scuttled at Bulwer on Moreton Island in 1931.

Whilst walking on the lovely island of Kerrera in Scotland I came across this old abandoned wooden wreck which I believe is the "Wreck of the Dayspring". With its rotting hull and peeling paintwork it just beckoned to be photographed. To me it had to be in Monochrome/Black & White so as to bring out all of the feeling and detail of the wreck. Hope you like it.
