When the tide goes out at Berrow, near Burnham-On-Sea, the bones of a long dead ship stick out of the sands as a stark reminder of a savage gale and a gallant rescue at the end of the last century.
It all started during the first days of March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.
Many ships soon found themselves in distress, among them the Norwegian barque SS Nornen which had tried out to ride out the storm in the lee of the Lundy Roads but had found her anchors dragging. She was being driven towards Berrow mud flats. The crew desperately tied to save her, but were fighting a losing cause.
while taking a drive on one of my favorite roads, i came across this truck, upside down. the driver had gone through the barbed wire fence and must have flipped before stopping. a wheel had come off ... have no details, other than the day before we had a bad rainstorm. it was also st patrick's day. i hope the passenger got out alive.

The SS Ayrfield is one of several old shipwrecks around Homebush Bay in Sydney's west.
As an avid wreck diver and underwater photographer I have always enjoyed the challenge of trying to get images of shipwrecks. Challenging it is, as trying to get even a small wreck in an image is complex when you need to shoot through what is often gloomy water.
To have the opportunity to capture images of a wreck in its final resting place, while shooting from shore is wonderful, and you can really take your time to make a variety of images.
Built over 100 years ago, the SS Ayrfield was one of the '60 milers' – the name given to the numerous colliers that worked between Sydney Harbour and the coalfields of the Illawarra and Hunter regions.
In 1972, the Ayrfield was sent to a ship breaking yard at Homebush, and is one of four wrecks that remain in place.
Homebush Bay was once a hub of Sydney's heavy industry, and became a dumping ground for a lot of industrial waste, including the old ship hulls.
Having been cleaned up, Homebush Bay became the home of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, and is now a residential, sporting and entertainment and business district.
The old wrecks remain in place, and are popular sites for photography, particularly with the setting sun.
After I scribbled on the inside of the cover, I found this on the outside.
I was planing on completey covering the cover at first. Now I am going to have to do something else, I quite like this unexpected outcome.
I bought Wreck This Journal to try to inspire my creativity a bit. I'll scan and post the pages as I finish them.

The day before there was a fierce sandstorm which forced us indoors and delayed the people who had flown to Abu Simbel by a few hours. The next day we set off at first light, with lots of sand still in the air.

These old houses along the river in front of the cathedral have been condemned. The City has finally come to an agreement with the last owners. The houses will be leveled and there will be an open plaza in front of the cathedral. The houses are from many different eras and have not been looked after for decades. We are looking forward to the change- it will open our view from the terrace downriver.

Diesae alten Häuser dem Fluss entlang und vor der Kathedrale werden demnächst abgerissen. Die Stadtverwaltung hat nach jahrelanger Diskussion die letzten Wohnungsbesitzer ¨berreden können auszuziehen. Die Häuser werden abgerissen und vor der Kathedrale wird es einen grossen Platz geben mit Sicht aufs Wasser. Die Häuser stammen aus verschiedensten Epochen und sind seit jahrzehnten vernachlässigt worden. Für unseren Blick von der Terrasse aus wird das die Sicht flussabwärts öffnen
