Just around the corner, we stumbled into the clothing optional area.

A local tipped us off to this Car Wreck Canyon, where the town used to dump their old vehicles (now antiques!)
The aftermath of a bus wreck at the bus station outside the Animal Kingdom park in Walt Disney World. This Gillig Advantage sideswiped another Gillig Advantage while pulling into the bus stop. This bus was headed to the Ticketing and Transportation Center, the other was headed to the Hollywood Studios park. There were no human injuries but the two buses involved weren't so lucky.
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!

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
This light aircraft was cut in half and sunk to provide an artificial reef. The cockpit is clearly visible.
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.

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

I had worked second trick (4p-12m) in Florence and was at home asleep when the phone rang about 5 a.m. The supervisor in Savannah. How quick can you get to Lugoff? 82 is on the ground with fatalities. Go in through the DuPont plant. Oh yeah, one more thing, do you have a camera? The sun was just coming up when I got there...
