I thought the "pick up this journal using anything other than your hands" was stupid in the wreck this journal, so I painted over it and covered the page in counterfeit MAC Pigment and packing tape.
A local tipped us off to this Car Wreck Canyon, where the town used to dump their old vehicles (now antiques!)
Thanks for all the "welcome back" messages. I have spent an inspirating couple of days catching up on your streams.
Going outside on a walk, thinking I'd take some half-ass nature pics, I stumbled over this completely burnt-out wreck of an old car. Best birthday present ever :)
TriX and Rodinal... I'm going to have to start buying this stuff in bulk!
The wreck of the Amazon.Four-masted iron barque,wrecked 1-9-1908,having left Port Talbot with 3,000 tons of coal for Iquique Chile,anchor in Mumbles roads to ride out gale,cables parted in the storm 20 of her crew of 28 perished.
On the rear of this westbound CSX manifest freight passing through Berea was an unusual sight. As best I could tell these five Metro North passenger cars were involved in the derailment on Dec. 1, 2013, at Spuyten Duyvil in New York City. The cars have obvious wreck damage and were being shipped minus their wheels.
Here's a shot of the old wreck next to Stockton bridge inside Newcastle harbour. Please visit my new page at www.facebook.com/FunktaculaFotography
I didn't see this happen, but this was not long after. The car was filled with smoke, and it billowed out when (I assume) the driver came over to get something out of her car. I cannot believe the astounding number of accidents that happen in this city, nor the irresponsible drivers that cause them. I have seen so many near misses, and read about so many wrecks - it makes me sick to my stomach. Thankfully, it seems the guy who got hit by her will live; but before plowing into him she hit another car and a pickup. What a lovely way to start the morning, eh?
eta: Below is the account of the accident from the scooter driver's own words (found in the comments section of the story)
Hi all, Ace here the scooter driver. typing with one hand here from the billings clinic. I first want to thank all of the first responders at the scene. I would like to especially thank the off-duty firefighter Ryan who was at my side less than 30 seconds after the crash. In addition I'd also like to thank the EMS Eric and his driver Travis?? who were both at the scene within 5 minutes. Also the excellent medical care here at Billings Clinic. I credit the wearing of my helmet, leather jacket, leather gloves, and long pants with staving off any additional injuries.
I respect other riders choice not to wear helmets; but as my cousin always told me: When you ride a motorcycle its not a question of if you'll get into an accident, its when and how bad. I urge all riders to consider wearing a helmet no matter how far or close to your destination you are, you never know when something like this could happen to you. I was driving to work, something I had done numerous times before, and was a ride I felt I 'knew'.
I feel got off lucky beyond some broken bones it doesn't appear that I've suffered any internal or mental injuries (crossing my fingers that can right now) Its going to be a long road to recovery, and I am grateful that I work for a company who has already visited me in the hospital several times. I do not believe I could have done anything to try and swerve out of the way; I remember the accident in its entirety from the girl coming through the middle of the east bound lane to her richeting off the truck in the right lane into the left east bound lane I was in. Hitting me head on, going over the handle bars, hitting the windshield and rolling off onto the pavement. I am thankful that I was not paralysed or run over by any cars behind me. The whole thing probably occurred in less than 3 seconds but it felt like time was moving in slow motion.
It is unfortunate that this girl will have to learn the lesson of not driving distracted in this manner at the cost of shiny metal rods in both my legs and arms. This is definitely an experience I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
New concept to me. The 'Kattle' make up the Wrecking Crew, which is what these guys in the middle call themeles. Wrecking comprises of all standing in front of the stage until the band start to play,then they just push each other a lot until someone falls over, the 'Kattle' around them pick them up and everybody starts again, and this goes on for the length of the song until the next one and it all starts again. By the end they are all so hot from all that pushing, the tops come off and it's like something out of G.A.Y on a Friday night.

Storms raise fears for popular seabird
Puffin deaths ‘worst in almost 50 years’
It’s feared the ongoing bad weather may be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of seabirds on the east coast of the UK from Aberdeenshire to North Yorkshire.
The RSPB has received many reports of puffins, as well as razorbills and guillemots washing up on beaches on the Yorkshire coast, at Bridlington, Filey and Scarborough and along Druridge Bay in Northumberland.
The conservation charity believes severe weather may have led to birds struggling to find food or succumbing to exhaustion, although the exact causes are currently unknown.
Keith Clarkson, of the RSPB said: “This may be the worst puffin ‘wreck’ we have seen for almost half a century. Despite their small stature puffins are fairly hardy birds, adept at coping with the harsh conditions of life at sea. So to hear that so many have been discovered dead is unusual and worrying.
“We are fast approaching the start of the seabird breeding season and tens of thousands of seabirds are returning to their colonies at Bempton Cliffs, Flamborough Head, Filey Cliffs and Coquet Island to raise their young. The recent events and poor body condition of the birds could have an impact on the success of this year’s puffin breeding season, a species already suffering population declines. The RSPB, with the help of volunteers, and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s Living Seas Centre will be closely monitoring the fortunes of this species and many other seabirds throughout the summer months.”
If you find any sick or injured seabirds on the beach please contact the RSPCA 0300 1234 999. If you find any dead birds seabirds can you email the details to the RSPB at Bempton.cliffs@rspb.org,uk
