Corpach Wreck .
Built in 1975, this ship was originally named as MV Dayspring and laterally as Golden Harvest. In her prime she was an excellent fishing vessel returning many a herring and mackerel before a raiser chain failure during a heavy storm on the 8th of December 2011 caused her to run ashore, she has been here ever since admiring the view of Ben Nevis..

Well known wreck at Dell Quay, Chichester Harbour.
Test shot with my brand new Canon 17-40mm f4 L lens. got rid of my 2nd hand Siggy 12-24, it was so soft (especially on the right hand side) I never really used it.
The best beach in Canada hands down. I've been all over the world and I think Wreck Beach is still my favourite beach....for 3 months of the year :)

Ship wreck in Inkoo, Finland. D700 & PC-E 45mm + Hoya ND400 filter. Composed of five shots.
The wreck has since been dismantled.
This happened in Nashville, Tennessee in what is now an upper class neighborhood. Two trains hit head on and killed101 people. Possibly the worst train wreck in US history. Zoom in and look at the crowd that came to see the wreckage. It seems that everybody is wearing a hat, as was the custom in those days. This picture was taken by a newspaper photographer whose name is not known. The picture is public domain.
We were led to the crash site of a US Navy DC-3 by a generous local Icelandic photographer, who claimed that this would be "the real shit". The plane crashed in 1974 when it ran out of fuel, although apparently the pilot forgot that he could switch to a spare tank. There were no casualties in the crash, but a helicopter crashed during the salvage mission, with fatal consequences. The lighting was very flat so I have used Nik HDR Efex Pro to accentuate the tonal contrast. Despite using many control points and doing a fair bit of modification in Photoshop I'm not sure I'm completely happy with it yet.
It was a long hike over the mountain from Dos Cabezas, but it was worth the view on the other side.
Here - Looking into the gorge from near the tracks, two wrecked box cars cling to the steep canyon wall.
The cars derailed in an accident in the 80’s where the train came around one of the many sharp corners at too high a rate of speed and some of it left the tracks.
The two cars in the image were carrying bagged cement that was salvaged by workers who unloaded the cars and carried the cargo up to the ROW (about 50 yards up the hill) where it was loaded onto another car and taken away.
The trucks off the box cars were also salvaged an all that remains is the busted up car bodies, some twisted rail and the debris of a number of shredded ties.

Airplane wreck used in the filming of the James Bond movies "Never Say Never Again" and "Thunderball"
First time out for what seems like an age with my Nikon D80 that has been converted for Infrared photography. Taken at Dungeness in Kent. Converted to B&W using CS6 & Nik Silver Efex.
The second Bedford YRQ/Duple towbus conversion to join my preserved collection, this was acquired just before Christmas. YXI 1760 is a Dominant Bus built from the rare Westward kit, I assume this being a damaged example, hence the decision to cut it down. It is a bit scruffy and despite having 'towing' in large letters had no actual means of towing when it arrived so it has been fitted with a spare crane from an Oxford Diecast Matador.
