We took to calling our Nissan 4x4 'Wreck it Ralph'. The vehicle held up pretty well over the course of 1,900+ miles, and we certainly took it through some really tough conditions. 3 of us shared the ride; myself in the front tent, and my brother-in-law and his son in the rear. There is a pretty big aftermarket industry in South Africa for outfitting 4x4s with rooftop tents, dual diesel tanks, fridge/freezer, etc. Our vehicle came well equipped, and it was a bargain to boot.
I thought 'Wreck it Ralph' was a pretty good movie actually...
Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

The Dona Marilyn wreck was vandalized in 2018, but is still a great dive.

Note that I do not suggest taking photos down there as many people think you are taking pictures of them. I had to allow numerous people to go through all of the pictures on my camera to make sure there wasn't any unauthorized pictures of naked people.
Schools of Sergeant Major (Abudefduf saxatilis) inhabit the coral and sponge-covered artificial reef that was once a freighter hauling grain across the Atlantic.
The St. George Wreck is a 262 ft. (80 m) long sunken ship that has been on the bottom since 1999. It is slowly transforming into a living tropical reef; swarming with fish and covered with diverse invertebrate marine life. @ 70 - 144 ft. (21 - 44 m)

A few weeks ago we went to a wonderful location on the banks of the river Wyre. The area is Fleetwood marsh nature reserve which has many wrecks that have been left to rot away, it is also a great area to see many wading birds. A photographers dream location!!

Saw Wreck-It Ralph this past weekend. Despite what you may think, I'm not much of a Disney movie guy. I love the classic Walt-era stuff, but beyond 1959 my interest in Disney's non-Pixar animation is very limited. However, I found Wreck-It Ralph quite enjoyable. This is in large part due to its affection for video games, a childhood staple of mine. The film is roughly like Toy Story but with video games rather than toys. It doesn't have quite the artistry and emotion of Pixar's finest, but it's still great in its own right with many genuinely funny moments (Sarah Silverman's character is a bit much at times, but otherwise everybody is likable). Most importantly the team behind very obviously "gets" video games and the film never comes off as pandering or out of touch. If you played video games in the 1980s or 1990s, you'll appreciate this film quite a bit.

Werke number 3208 "3M+KH" Messerschmidt Me.110 Tailwheel Oleo Leg displayed at Wings World War Two Aviation Museum, Balcombe, UK 17/6/18.
This aircraft was shot down at Priory Farm, East Holme, near Wareham at 6pm on 25th August 1940 by Pilot Officer N. Agazarian & G.N Gaunt of Royal Air Force 609 Squadron.
The crew, Uffz.Becker & Obergefr.Wopzel both baled out and were taken prisoners of war, wounded.
366 Steps. That is the sign that greets you when you arrive at the carpark at Moonlight Head, not far from Laver's Hill. It is 366 steps down the hill which is not too much of a problem, it is the 366 on the way back up that is the killer, especially if you decided that it was a good idea to take every piece of camera equipment you own in a backpack and a heavy weight tripod....
This was shot a few weeks ago before easter and is really a must stop at place on the Great Ocean Road. The location is pretty accessible although you have to time it with the tides as you can get cut off from the steps (all 366 of them) when the tide is in. On this day, the tidal movement was minimal so I had all day to work with and decided to wait until late afternoon and a bit of cloud cover. The wind was absolutely howling from the west blowing sand up everywhere, changing lenses was out of the question so I had to run with what was on the camera.
When looking at how to compose the image, the rockpools made the most logical lead in line to the anchor but the wind was causing a shocking chop across the water so I used an NDX filter to slow it down and smooth out the rock pools. The wind was a real problem with the long exposure and I ended up shooting the same image around fifteen times (at 40 second exposures) to get one that was sharp. In post production, a lot of cyan was drawn out of the shot to compensate for the NDX and I did a bit of color enhancement and local contrast adjustments.
Photographed in Carlise Bay Marine Park, Barbados, where there are 6 wrecks...
Berwyn: Carlisle Bay ~ 20ft ~ A 70 ft long World War I French
Tug Boat sunk in 1919 by her own crew. The Berwyn sits between 7 and 10 feet below the surface depending on the tide. As a result of the calm water in the bay and the age of this wreck the Berwyn is covered in marine life including healthy hard and soft coral growth and their associated reef creatures.
Ce-Trek: Carlisle Bay ~ 45ft ~ The Ce-Trek, a derelict boat constructed of cement was sunk in January 1986. This shipwreck sits in deeper water on the northern edge of the park and is home to nice coral, soft coral and sponge growth.
Eillon: Carlisle Bay ~ 55ft ~ This 110ft drug boat was tied up for ~6 years in the Bridgetown careenage before it was sunk on 8th June 1996 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The wreck is easily accessqible for penetration and has an air pocket in the bow big enough to a conversation at 25′ under.
Bajan Queen: Carlisle Bay ~ 35ft ~ She was Barbados’ first tugboat named the “Pelican” when the Bridgetown Harbour was being constructed in the 1960’s. A decade later, as more modern tugboats were purchased; the Pelican was then converted to a party boat called “Bajan Queen”. The Bajan Queen holds many memories for thousands of Barbadians and visitors alike. After years of operation as the party spot the Bajan Queen was donated to the Coastal Zone Management Unit. From there with the assistance of our very own Andre Miller the Bajan Queen was cleaned up and sunk on 19th May 2002 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. She now sits only a few feet below the surface and is accumulating some excellent fish life and good coral diversity.
Cornwallis: Carlisle Bay ~15ft ~ A Canadian freighter sunk by a torpedo from a German U-Boat during World War II. This wreck was relocated from a very high boat traffic region of the bay to this Marine Reserve on 22nd October 2003.
Barge: Carlisle Bay ~ 12ft ~ A Naval Landing Barge found in Carlisle Bay. This wreck is now home to numerous reef fish including the puffer’s bigger cousin the porcupine fish.
