The wrecked BNSF #7847 is loaded onto a flat car in Missoula. This engine was involved in a collision back on November 13th. It has been sitting on the roundhouse tracks almost since then. They must plan on rebuilding it. Does any one know where it's going?
Location: Ship-wreck on a beach near Paarden Island.
Description: “One of the most important elements you can exploit to create a dynamic composition is the foreground – the area of a scene closest to the camera. Emphasizing the foreground will help to give your photographs a strong sense of distance, depth and scale, due to the effects of perspective, as well as providing a convenient entry point into the picture.”
This is the opening paragraph of a chapter entitled Filling the Foreground in Lee Frost’s excellent book called The Creative Photography Handbook. It was also the thought that was strongest in my mind while I was out hunting for another classic Table Mountain panorama... which is why I was absolutely delighted to discover this old ship-wreck embedded in the sand on a beach between Milnerton and Paarden Island! How long has this wreck been lying here? Why haven’t I heard about it before?
The only problem I faced while composing this scene was the messy beach all around the wreck! Besides all the bits of rubbish, there were also hundreds of footprints all over the place... everything clearly visible in the viewfinder!! But this time Mother Nature was definitely on my side, and within a few minutes an unusually large wave came rushing up the beach and cleared most of the mess away! I had to hop onto the wreck to avoid getting soaked, but when the water receded and I got back into position... the foreground was perfect!!

The recent storms have uncovered a ship wreck which I believe to be the Barnet which was a trawler which went to assist the Warspite but ended up getting holed and ended up here in Mounts Bay. freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/.../visitor...
Headed down to Wreck Beach for a sunrise shoot this morning with Richard Stanley, Jim Picot and Chris Steed.
We sat out a rain shower in the car park before heading down the 366 steps to the beach.
After sitting out another rain shower in a cave on the beach we had a rain free shoot with some great clouds.
An amazing location.
While I was playing around with my newly acquired Zodiak 8 for my beloved Kiev 88, I noticed this wrecked umbrella floating in the water...I had to take this shot ! :)

Last year we went for a holiday in North Norfolk staying in the wonderful place Wells Next the Sea. I wanted to get to Hunstanton to find this beach and wreck which I initially discovered with my late father who did a wonderful painting of this wreck. I was so pleased to find the remains of the boat still there, somewhat reduced, with the backdrop of these amazing cliffs. Lockdown has finally given me the time to process these photos.

The surface wreck of the TEMPLE HALL cargo ship in a little bay between Costa Teguise and Arrecife on Lanzarote Island.
The TEMPLE HALL was built in 1953 by the Caledon Shipbuilding & Engineering Company Ltd. in Dundee, Scotland.
Owned by the Temple Steam Ship Company until 1969 then sold to Demetrios P. Margaronis & Sons, renamed to PANTELIS.
Sold in 1970 to the Cia. Naviera Para Viajes Sud Amerika SA, sold again in 1977 to K. Mitsotakis & Sons and was renamed to TELAMON.
In 1981 the TELAMON was on its way from San Pédro(ivory coast) to Thessaloniki(greece) with a load of logs when near Lanzarote several leaks in the hull occured during a storm. The TELAMON was not allowed to enter the Arrecife harbor, because the port authority was afraid that the ship would sink and block the entire harbor. A fishing boat towed the TELAMON into the bay where it sunk on the 31st October 1981. Later the ship broke apart in the storm and was completely abandoned.
A pair of wrecks at Pin Mill in Suffolk, UK. Unfortunately I missed the tide for the shot I actually wanted so had to settle for this shot showing the continuing dilapidation and decay of the wrecks on a lovely November day.
this is a ship wreck on the woodhouse reef, near tiran island in the gulf of aqaba, it is a wreck of a russian cargo ship.
Two of the old ship wrecks on the southern bank of the river Humber near to Goxhill in what was known as South Humberside but now North Lincolnshire. The city of Hull can be seen over on the north side of the river. Hull isn't a 'tall city', there aren't any tall/stand out buildings, the tallest thing is probably an industrial chimney - just right of centre in the image.
These two wrecks are easy to get to but require a bit of a walk and you need to leave the car next to some 'undesirable looking houses', I did wonder if the wheels would be on the car when I got back. They were.
This is a souvenir from the Soviet vessel Vazlav Vorovsky, which grounded on Peacock Spit at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1941 and subsequently sank. It is in the collection of the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, Washington.
What do you think it was used for? It is about four inches high and five inches wide. The rim bends down into the vessel, presumably to prevent the contents from spilling over the sides in heavy seas. One possibility is that it's a holder for a cake of shaving soap.
The following story appeared in the Capital Journal of Salem, Oregon, of Friday, April 4, 1941.
"Captain Reluctant to Quit Russian Ship"
Astoria, Ore , April 4 (U.P.)
The stranded Russian steamer Vazlav Vorovky, caught in the treacherous sands of Peacock spit at the mouth of the Columbia river, was cracking in three places today. The Cape Disappointment lookout reported that an eight foot crack had appeared in the hull of the shlp aft of the bridge and that another big split showed fore of the bridge.
A hundred or more casks and barrels littered the beach near the wrecked ship as the cargo floated away. Valuable oil pumping machinery which the Vorovsky was hauling to Vladivostok, ls a total loss, as the ship's engines are dead and the water is not deep enough to support a winch-carrying boat of sufficient size to lift the machinery.
Capt. J. Takoreff, who waited until all of his crew were taken ashore, was rescued today by the coast guard. He was taken off by a surf boat from the Cape Disappointment station whlle the 2,677-ton freighter ground itself to pieces in the sands.
The captain suffered severe leg Injuries when a sudden swell tossed the surfboat into him as he came down the side on a Jacob's ladder. He was taken to Ilwaco, Wash, for treatment.
For nearly 24 hours Captain Tokareff had stuck to hls ship alone, clinging to the rolling bridge after his crew had been taken off. Last night he flashed "boat" on his signal lamp.
The 55 members o! his crew, Including two women, shabbily dressed, huddled dejectedly In Cape Defiance life station,
They told how the ship had put out to sea early yesterday on Its
way back to Vladivostok, and ran Into a 40 mile wind. The ship turned back toward port, but was caught by a tide and the steering gear developed trouble. Their anchors failed to hold and the ship was smashed broadside against the sandbar of
Peacock spit, "graveyard of shlps," southeast of Cape Disappointment.
Captain J, Takoreff, who speaks no Engllsh, refused to go with his crew, "He shouted In Russian and we shouted in English," said a guardsman, "but he refused to budge."
High winds and heavy sea were grinding it to pieces on the sand spit and great holes had been torn In the bottom. The ship was rolling about on the spit and was in danger of being torn away to sink In deep water.
Two tugs abandoned hope of tryIng to refioat the ship after it was apparent the hull was shattered.
The Vazlav Vorovsky was loaded with valuable equipment for the Soviet Union. It is owned by the Amtory Trading company,
A large group of people put in an order for a celestial wrecking ball to smash ugly, unsightly buildings, considered to be blots on the landscape in a recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We are fighting to save Ecclesbourne Glen in Hastings Country Park, where unlicensed work by a local caravan park is widely believed to have contributed significantly to, if not caused a major landslide in the glen, closing all footpaths through it.
