Another shot of FE25, one of the many fishing boat wrecks along a small stretch of the Dungeness coast.
This has to be one of my favorite places for photography in the UK, this place was just made for it. I made three separate visits to this place whilst on holiday and have many more images to process. Special thanks to my wife for giving me the space and time :-)
It's definitely popular, as each time I visited, there were always other photographers wondering around between the wrecks and shacks.
Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck it Ralph. My favorite cosplayer from the entire event. She looked awesome! The ribbon in her hair looks like real licorice candy (i.e. Red Vines) whereas i've seen most others use plain ribbons. Great attention to details!
Her portrait pose was inspired by The Girl with a Pearl Earring painting by Johannes Vermeer except she is making eye contact.

An old ship finds new purpose as sanctuary for a new mangrove and tourist attraction.
SS Ayrfield (originally launched as SS Corrimal) was a steel-hulled, single screw, steam collier of 1140 tonnes and 79.1m in length. It was built in the UK in 1911 and registered at Sydney in 1912. It was purchased by the Commonwealth Government and used to transport supplies to American troops stationed in the Pacific region during WWII.
This is the remains after the ship was sent to the breaking yard in 1972.
My 'Wreck This Journal' as of 6 October 2012. I've had it for a couple of months now.

In 1981, a Russian cargo ship wrecked itself on this beautiful reef in the Gulf of Aqaba, between Egypt and Saudi Arabia. No lives were lost. A lighthouse has since been built.
There are 3 ships at The Bulwer Wrecks that were scuttled on the beach at Bulwer, Moreton Island by Robert Alexander Gow deliberately for a sheltered area to load and unload his 12 m boat in the early 1930's. The main ship was the Kallatina, a steel steamer of 628 tons which was built at Glasgow in 1890 and bought from the State Government by John Burke Ltd. It was scuttled in 1931. The Hopewell was scuttled in 1930, which is the ship on the right when looking at the ocean. At the back running parallel to the beach is the 716 ton Mt Kembla also scuttled in 1930, it was 180 ft long and built in England in 1885 for Mt Kembla Coal and Oil Company.
They were all scuttled to form a breakwater at Bulwer, Moreton Bay, Queensland, although now the wrecks are rusting away and it is a lot shallower between the wrecks, making it an ideal swimming and snorkelling spot.
This boat wreck has been in the estuary near the Maitai River mouth for as long as I can remember. The sign next to it simply warns other vessels, "WARNING: Wreck covered by high tide.", not thats theres much left of it to avoid. It just looks like a huge boot print in the sand from my kite.

Although there were nearly 20 degrees in the moment of this shot, there was a cold shower on my back. For people from my generation it is inconceivably how brutal the vietnam war had to be. Thankfully!
here are some information about the story of this wreck.

Volkswagen Beetle wrecks
The camper van roof is now all that remains of a completely stripped bus. It was surprisingly rust free. So parts of it at least will have made it back on the road. I first saw this bus on a Sunday afternoon last May. By mid July all that was left was the camper roof section which has since moved about 3 yards and is left leaning on a stripped out late model Beetle.
