Blakeney was a commercial seaport until the early 20th century. Now the harbour is silted up, and only small boats can make their way out past Blakeney Point to the sea. The harbour and surrounding marshes are owned by the National Trust and is a nature reserve where seals can be seen basking on the sand. (from wikipedia)

Trawler MV Dayspring (built 1975) was beached in 2011 after breaking loose from its mooring during a storm. The wreck lies below the high tide line on a shingle beach on Loch Eil where it joins with Loch Linnhe. Ben Nevis, with its peak obscured by clouds, lies in the background. Scottish Highlands.

Solheimasandur plane wreck in 1973 at south Iceland.
The Douglas R4D-8 US Navy transport plane had delivered supplies at Hofn Hornafjördur Airport for the radar-station in Stokksnes, Iceland. En route the airplane encountered severe icing. The crew were not able to maintain altitude. A forced landing was carried out on an ice covered river on near coast of Iceland. The ice broke but the airplane did not sink.
The remains of the plane were abandoned and the main fuselage as still there since 1973.

Wreck of the SS Nornen, Berrow, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset
This old wreck has been on my mind to shoot for about 2 years but as it's a bit of a drive and you need the weather, tides and sunset to align plus have the time in the schedule to shoot it I haven't before now. On the August Bank Holiday weekend I was free and had reason to be heading that way so I decided to make an afternoon/evening out of it and try to get something.
The SS Nornen was a Norwegian Barque sailing ship. It had 3 masts and was built in France in 1876.
On 1 Feb 1897 it set sail from Bristol bound for Brunswick in Georgia, USA. Having loaded a cargo of resin and turpentine, the Nornen set sail back to Bristol. During the night of 2/3 March, a major storm battered the coasts of south west England. Captain Olsen made an attempt to shelter in the lee of Lundy Island, but this was in vain. With sails torn, the crew were powerless against the rough swells and driving sleet. The Nornen drifted north-westward, eventually running aground on Berrow Beach, Berrow, Somerset.
The captain risked his life by jumping overboard, into the muddy, icy cold waters of the Severn Estuary. None of the other crewmen nor the ship's dog followed. At 11:30 on 3 March, the RNLI lifeboat "Godfrey Morris"[ reached the stricken vessel, which was standing upright on Gore Sands. All crew* and the ship's dog were rescued and taken to safety.
Salvage began almost immediately, with the insurers logging her as 'sold as a wreck' on 2 April 1897. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nornen
I did find shooting this wreck a challenge as I wanted to go low to the sand but if I did that it was impossible to isolate the two rows of timbers from each other. I was there for a few hours with one other Tog appearing during Golden Hour and several beach walkers visited as well. Luckily although there were a number of heavy rain showers skirting the site (you can see one to the left of the frame) I stayed dry the whole time. This shot is is a series of 5 bracketed images taken shortly before the sun was lost behind that bank of clouds. I'd hoped the shadows you can see would appear as I thought they could be used in the shot.
It's pretty flat there and I know the Bristol channel has a massive tidal range so you need to be careful there but I've seen some shots with more of the sand missing and water sitting between the timbers which can make for a cracking image. A place I hope to return to.

Repainted IC SD40-3 6263 leads ore loads South at Sax, MN. The 6263 has a unusual cab window on this side due to a repair from wreck damage.

This is a shot of the Maheno wreck on Fraser Island Australia, which I've taken 10 years ago on my Down Under trip.
Don't blame me about picture quality! At this time, I owned only a simple point and shoot camera and it was the beginning of my passion to photography.
Wreck of the SS Nornen, Berrow, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, UK
I really can't get used to the new layout on here!👎
Sorry for absence and lack of replies/comments - will try and do better in next week as have a few days off and hoping to have a bit of dry weather for some shooting in east Sussex/Kent.
This shot was taken a little earlier than the last one from a more head-on angle to the wreck of the SS Nornen.
I know to some it will seem quite similar to the last shot and I can understand that. In this one though I liked that the sun was not in the shot to draw the eye, the refinery is visible in the background and just a hint of a rainbow there too that I didn't notice at the time.
For me the clouds that I got that afternoon/evening were the highlight to this old wreck.
I won't be posting whilst I'm away but will try to catch up on acknowledging comments and commenting. How those on several Social Media sites keep up I'll never know!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
