Ship wreck in Inkoo, Finland. D700 & PC-E 45mm + Hoya ND400 filter. Composed of five shots.
The wreck has since been dismantled.
Couldn't help heading out with my kayak tonight. The calm waters and the Royston wrecks just called me. :]
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.
MV Dayspring - built in 1975, an excellent fishing vessel bringing mackerel and herring. Renamed Golden Harvest by new owners and her last voyage under her own power was in 2001. She was left moored for several years at Kinlochleven Pier, but due to a chain failure during a heavy storm she ran aground near the Corpach Sea Lock on the 8th December 2011 and has lain there ever since.

Manipulated to place water in image.
Latest addition to my Crocs cycle gang.
Dithered over the name of this one forever. Wanted "___-dozer," but I couldn't get it to work. Killdozer? Taken. Rolldozer? Stupid. Etc.
Long after the storm hurled her onto the beach, one side of the iron hulled ship still rises up out of the emtombing sands.
I find such wrecks intriguing. A tangible connection with the past.
And it excites me even more to know that God speaks of those that we think of as dead as living still.
Looking north.
First, this is not the big famous one where the Train of the Goddesses sheared off the front of the Main Street Depot. I wrote about that this blog: railfan44.blogspot.com/2013/10/downers-grove-depot-front-...
This wreck happened in August 1965. I woke up on Friday August 27 an somehow heard that there was a wreck on the CB&Q about 1/2 mile from my house in Westmont, IL. It was actually just west of the Maple Ave. grade crossing in eastern Downers Grove (a couple of blocks west of the Fairview Ave. commuter stop). Grabbed my camera and found what these 11 photographs show. The photos are in the sequence taken. Clearly the morning Dinkey rush didn't occur. All the cars that stayed on the rails were gone. The wreck was between the the home signals of the four crossovers used mainly for express Dinkeys to cross over off or on the middle track. Here is the Google view: www.google.com/maps/place/41%C2%B047'44.0%22N+88%C2%B000'...
I have added very few comments to the photos. I never did learn anything about the wreck, e.g., cause and direction of the train.
This was built as a Higbee's department store and was later a Dillard's. The building was undergoing demolition in 2015.
The Randall Park Mall was opened in 1976 and was briefly the largest shopping center in the world, topping in at 2 million square feet. JCPenney, Horne's, Sears, May Company, and Higbee's were the original anchor stores. Sadly, the mall had a decline which led to its closure in 2009. Burlington Coat Factory (former Horne's) is the only "anchor" at the site and it is due to close in 2015. The Power Sport institute and a furniture liquidation center are the only other remaining businesses here. Much of the vacant space of the mall is undergoing demolition as of early 2015.

The ship wreck of the Admiral Von Tromp protruding from the dark shale rocks at the south end of Saltwick Bay.
Taken with a Canon 600D and a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens.
This is exactly what I was hoping for (apart from the coffee stains from the previous page!) I bought and used my first set of watercolour pencils...
Photo taken through windshield of our van.
