Eugene uses a wheelchair for more than 10 years after a motorcycle accident.
In May 2016 Eugene took part in OpenWaterChallenge to show that paraplegia is not an obstacle for diving.
Eugene alone has made a long way from Tomsk in Siberia in Hurghada.
In Hurghada Eugene not only completed the OWD course, which he began in the pool in Tomsk, but also successfully completed a course PADI AOWD.
On October 6, 1973, an eastbound Penn Central freight derailed on the Indiana Harbor Belt mainline sending cars into homes along Logan Street in Hammond. The cause of the wreck was track-related. Here is a view from the Columbia Avenue overpass of the aftermath and clean-up. Tom Golden photo.
Wreck of the Norwegian barque SS Nornen. March 1897, the ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat the John Godfrey Morris, launched from Burnham, and landed safely at three o'clock in the afternoon. The rescue is recorded on the honours board of rescues made by the three lifeboats at Burnham during the period from 1867 to 1930 and which today stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.
This ex Taw and Torrige Paramount had been refurbished though it was wrecked by vandals at 1st Call.Merthyr Tydfil.AtM&R Commercials today.
I absolutely had a blast shooting tonight. I always like shooting at Wreck Beach (aside from all the hippies and naked old dudes with their wrinkly dongs wagging around) and tonight was no exception. The sky was great, the tide was cooperative, my buddy Richard Neindorf was with me and the compositions seemed a little less stressful. (And yes, there were hippies galore and lots of dongs.) I think composing is starting to become a bit more natural. I still struggle to get rolling but once I am on to something it seems to really come together better than it used to.
I found this 2-foot diameter concrete wrecking ball in a brushy ditch in Caesar Creek State Park in Warren County Ohio. It may be left behind from the 1970's when the Army Corps of Engineers built a dam across Caesar Creek to form a flood control reservoir.

Big thanks to my old man for helping setup the strobes up top!
truck wreck during World War II years.
I have no idea where this photo was taken, and I don't know who is standing in the background.
*********************************
To the best of my knowledge, most of the photos in this Flickr album were taken by my grandmother, Mabel Yourdon, during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Most of them depict scenes of everyday life in mining camps and small towns near the Utah-Colorado border. Some of them show hunting, fishing, and camping trips in unspecified parts of the American west. It appears that a few of them were taken in southern California, when Mabel and her husband Ike traveled out there to visit relatives.
I have no idea what kind of camera Mabel used for these photos, nor what kind of film. There probably wasn’t that much variety available in the 1920s, and she was not a “professional” photographer. So it may have been a Brownie and whatever B/W film Kodak was selling at the time.
My stepfather, Ray Yourdon, was born in 1922; and his older brother, Marvin, was born two years before that. You’ll see photos of Ray and Marvin when they were young boys, when they were in high school, and when they went off to join the Navy and the Marines to fight in World War II.
Somewhere around 2005, I asked Ray if he could tell me the details of some of the photos; where possible, I have included those details in the notes for the photos. Some of the photos obviously evoked pleasant memories, and I heard stories about minor day-to-day events in his life that I had never heard before. But we rarely got through more than a few pictures before he ran out of energy; and so many of the photos have no explanation at all.
At this point, my parents and grandparents are all gone. I have cousins who grew up in the same area where these photos were taken, and one or two of them are still in that area. They may be able to fill in a few of the details; otherwise, you’ll just have to accept these photos as a glimpse of what life was like nearly a hundred years ago ...
A SEA of amazingly beautiful and sexy men. *ugh*
One of my absolute favorite NYC dance clubs of the almost current era. And the Wrecked party - still one of my favorites but it's moved to different places since then. LOVE Wrecked.
Analog, in Gowanus, had / has such a perfect floor plan and wonderful dance floor lighting (the lounge area could have used some help) and a really nice staff. And always a commitment to top-notch DJs if not downright legendary.
I miss it. But I am inspired by its simplicity. It was one of the best clubs ever for just a very functional and fun environment. I'm telling you the floor plan was just absolutely perfect.
In warmer times, Wreck Beach is for those who view clothing as optional. I doubt anyone would see that as an option in February.

Been posting a few portraits recently so i thought i'd have a break. This one is from a trip to Dungeness with my mate Keefy13.

Off the M275 Hampshire. On the way back, I could not resist taking though the gap in the fence that opens to the shore.

This is the remains of what was RMS Mulheim, wrecked on the coast of North Cornwall, England in 2003.
Last winter she sunk in the ice, it cost a lot to save her, but now she is here again, wonder how long she will keep afloat.
First time at this location and I definitely want to go back at a different tide and time of day. I love how desolate parts of the north Norfolk coast are.
I might have gone a bit far with the contrast on this one, I'm still finding my feet with mono conversions.
