This car wreck does have a second lease of 'life'. Whatever tragedy may hide behind these mangled pieces of metal and plastic, the wreck is now being used by our local fire brigade for training purposes. How to get people out at a scene of a car accident? How to extinguish a car fire? How to save lives? How to give people a second chance?
Another shot of the Admiral Von Trump wreck located in Saltwick Bay, North Yorkshire, with Black Nab behind.
This time I was very, very close to the wreck and used a wide angle viewpoint.

St. Margaret’s Hope
Two wrecks behind the ferry terminal in the village of St. Margaret’s Hope. Looks as though they were once part of the fishing fleet, which having reached the end of their lives have been abandoned to be replaced by new vessels.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Ship wreck at Roa Island without a visible name.The Vita Nova Z588 was built in 1967 and was a Belgian Trawler. She later spent some time in Ireland and then was decommissioned and ended up in Millom, Cumbria . She was sold as scrap to a family who converted her to a houseboat and was anchored just off the causeway between Rampside and Roa Island. The family lived on her until the really high tides at the end of 2014/early 2015 washed her ashore.
Pan Am Railways GP40 (high hood) 380 leads the combined wreck train past MP-100 at Burnham Jct, ME on 3/21/2020. The train was on the return trip from Northern Maine Junction after cleaning up several loaded LPG tank cars which derailed and rolled down an embankment in Etna, ME a week or two prior. The 380 was having a hard time on this day, which required a running start to make many of the hills. At the end of the train, SD40M-2 3405 was isolated. As for the 380, it was reactivated to handle detour traffic, as a result of the CN rail blockades in February of 2020. However, this would prove to be the last stand for the Pan Am high hoods. Upon reaching Waterville, the 380 was cutoff the train and had the water drained after being taken into the shop complex. The 380 would be cut up by LTEX crews at Waterville before the end of the year (despite a few interested parties) ending the high hood era on Pan Am.

Taken on Crow Point in North Devon - Very different edit for me, however, wanted to bring out just how bright the day was and the subject with what would have been bright colours on the hull (and no doubt the rest of the boat)
Wreck of a fishing vessel on the shore of Loch Linnie, Scotland, with Ben Nevis hiding behind the low cloud.
The 1975 built trawler MV Dayspring was washed up on the shingle at Caol back in 2011 and has been a sight I have kept intending to visit. The 26 metre boat is gradually decaying so the overcast moody weather on the day of my visit seemed so appropriate.
For those who don't know the area, the UK's highest peak, Ben Nevis can be seen directly behind the wreck looming up out of the loch and into the cloud.
Loch Linnhe Wreck
The old boat on the shores of Loch Linnhe at Corpach near Fort William. A brief few minutes of light as the sun breaks through the clouds. I think probably the only bit of light on our trip north.
Fort William and the Ben Nevis range can be seen behind the wreck.

The remains of Brightons West pier. I took this shot with the view of making an Xpan crop that showed off the emerald green sea and the moody sky.
The RAW file straight out of my XT5 looked really interesting, and took very limited work beyond the crop to produce this result.
I personally love the atmosphere, and the minimalist look.

The rather eerie remains of the trawler Epine, wrecked on Djupalonssandur beach, Snaefellsnes peninsula, Iceland in 1948. The remains of the trawler are still scattered across this beach over 70 years later.
I believe 14 men drowned and 5 were rescued (just had a quick check - there’s an interesting official report into the wrecking here, it’s the pdf at the bottom ):
Solheimasandur gained significant attention and popularity among tourists due to the presence of an abandoned plane wreck on its beach. The wreckage is that of a United States Navy Douglas Super DC-3 airplane that crash-landed on November 24, 1973.
The plane was en route from Hofn in the east of Iceland to the US Navy base in Keflavik when it encountered severe icing on its wings, leading to a loss of control. Miraculously, all the crew members and passengers on board survived the crash. However, the US Navy decided not to salvage the aircraft due to the remote location and the high cost involved.
Over time, the abandoned plane became a haunting and iconic landmark on Solheimasandur beach. Its presence in the desolate landscape attracted photographers, adventurers, and curious visitors from around the world. The plane's rusted and weathered exterior, juxtaposed against the black sand and dramatic coastline, created a surreal and captivating sight.
There is bus shuttle every day between 10:00 and 17:00 taking you for the parking lots to plane wreck, it costs €20. There were lot of tourists taking snapshots around the plane from the same shuttle, lots of people even staying inside the plane… A bit difficult to take clean photos without disturbing by others. It may be good idea to take the last bus at 5pm, staying until all the others left, but you have to walk back to the parking lot on your own.

The Telemon, wrecked on 31st October 1981,
This ship was travelling to Greece with a load of timber from the Ivory Coast when it started taking on water, it was grounded here as there were fears it would break up, that was 1981, in 2019 this is all that remains.
I can think of worse places to be ship wrecked!
I have tried a few bits of Photoshop that I don't normally use, I would appreciate feedback please
During a short break on Skye, I would pass this small Lochan every day, and every day I pondered on getting down there and taking a few shots, My ankle was healing from a rather bad break so I was at this point wearing a moon-boot.
I was a struggling to get from the car to the beach, but I made it and was quite happy with the results.
The ruins of the SS Speke, which was shipwrecked in 1906 on the southern coast of Phillip Island, Victoria.
Taken at low tide mid afternoon I decided on a Black and White approach and added some Split Toning just to add some contrast to the image.
My image of this wreck which is situated on the shores of Loch Linnhe just outside of Fort William in Scotland, also In the background is a snowy Ben Nevis but it is partly covered by cloud and rain.
