the wreck of the Countess of Erne, Portland Harbour.
In its prime the Countess of Erne was a paddle steamer, but was used in later life as a coal hulk in Portland harbour. It sank in 1935 after its moorings broke lose. The site is within the shelter of the harbour, parallel to the northeast wall next to the white lighthouse - there is usually a fixed shot marking the stern which is the north end of the wreck. The wreckage lies upright and is still intact, although much of the superstructure has gone. The visibility can be really bad because of the its location inside silty Portland Harbour. There is some fish life however, and a few holes in the wreck to inspect. It lies upright on the sea floor and some of the holds could be entered if the visibility remains good
August 13, 2010 (Friday) - Was a great day to head to the water. It's quite a hike down from the road. Still hard to believe the city is just around the corner ...
I comment about my life and opinions in my eJournal and images every single day.
Made some minor improvements to Wreck-Gar. His front wheel can be removed off the shoulder and attaches to his forearm (shield) Also added lots of spikes, rust and damage.
This is the wreck at Bunbeg (also called Magheraclogher) Beach in Donegal Ireland. A superb location to go to and see. Hope you enjoy this image.
This is an HDR shot with a little bit of Topaz Labs spicify added.
This is the composition book I was sent for the "Wreck this Journal" swap on swap-bot. I started right away on the cover..loads of gesso!
This book will go back to the person who added all the prompts for me to complete. I hope mine gets completed and sent back!
My 'Wreck This Journal' as of 6 October 2012. I've had it for a couple of months now.
Taken with Canon EOS 60D.
wrecking balls were formerly a pear-shape with a portion of the top cut off and they are currently spherical. This picture was taken in the 1950s. Pear-Shaped wrecking balls were used from 1922-1966. They do not make wrecking balls like this anymore and McDonald's did not do PlayPlaces yet when wrecking balls were like this but McDonald's does do PlayPlaces now. This picture was taken in the 1950s.
This clandestine bat heart designed by Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy is my favourite thing on the journal.
I was a bit skeptical about putting this on the journal because I love it so much and didn't want it to get too wrecked but I have no real use for it anymore since it broke (it's actually meant to be a necklace)
.... and guess what?
a few days later, I was outside with my journal and I accidentally dropped it, on the concrete... and the sides of the bat heart got all scratched up :(

The beach was deserted that day except for one guy wayy out on the Jetty. I have never seen it so calm or empty
