Using up the leftovers from my rainbow knitting :) This was fun..Reminded me of the very first sewing kit I did as a little girl!
Car wrecks in farm fields with good lighting never loose their photo appeal, even to the utmost nature enthusiast, no matter
what country they are in.
I seem to be having a little trouble getting into the destructive mode... -must be the perfectionist in me. Oh, but look, I stuck my favorite Squidoo sticker right on the front cover!!

Built in 1945, the Town Theater is slatted for demolition next week.
The final act: Highland's historic Town Theatre to be demolished next month

HIGHLAND — The long abandoned Town Theatre will have one final engagement next month — with a wrecking ball.
As the final curtain drops on the historic 72-year-old theater, two adjacent buildings to the north will also fall, the town council said Monday. All three buildings are owned by the town.
"Demolition of 8610, 8612 and 8618 (Kennedy Ave.) has been scheduled," Redevelopment Director Kathy DeGuilio-Fox told the council.
The date is set for Dec. 12, and all utilities are being removed in advance, she added.
The two adjacent buildings, which housed Ed's Town TV and Highland Jewelers during the theater's heyday decades ago, were part of the proposed renovation plan that would have enlarged the theater's footprint and brought movies back to its screen.
However, after contractor renovation bids revealed costs higher than what town officials had projected, so the project was scrapped.
The costs originally were estimated between $1.9 million and $2.5 million, but the bids came in at an average of $3.2 million, excluding the highest bid.
Earlier this year the council, doubling as the redevelopment commission, awarded a demolition bid to Actin Contracting, of East Chicago, to raze the three buildings for $35,700. Two more buildings, at the north end of the block, currently house businesses as the town seeks to purchase them.
The town also plans to acquire a couple other businesses behind the theater and eventually level the entire block. This includes the five acres between Condit Street and Garfield Avenue between Kennedy and the bike trail.
Actin was also chosen to raze the town-owned building immediately south of the theater, 8620 Kennedy, for $13,430.However, demolition has been delayed to give a tenant, Maria's Buena Cocina, time to move into her new Highland location. DeGuilio-Fox noted that the restaurant has been working with an architect and the drawings are waiting for a green light from the state.
"But they may not (yet) be approved and back to us, she may not be out of that building by Dec. 12," DeGuilio-Fox said. "So I would like to have her close for a couple days, while they're taking down the theater, and reimburse her for time lost. I think that's a safer way to do it, you just never know."
Councilman Mark Herak, I-2nd, and Council Vice president Steve Wagner, D-4th, said the Mexican restaurant has found a new home in a strip mall at the southeast corner of Ridge Road and Grace Street. Both councilmen added that the town, which owns the kitchen equipment used by the restaurant, has agreed to give Maria the equipment for relocating within the town.
Wreck Beach is one of the largest clothing-optional beaches in the world. It is part of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, which is in turn part of the University Endowment Lands just west of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The clothing optional section is clearly marked with signs and stretches approximately 6.5 km from Acadia Beach in the north, down to the Booming Grounds Creek on the north arm of the Fraser River.
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.
