I bought a Wreck This Journal (box set with Mess and This Is Not A Book). I started on this one first. I actually scratched this page with a spork. I thought I'd make it more interesting.
Trail 6 at University of British Columbia takes you about 75m downhill to a stretch along the Pacific Ocean named Wreck Beach. I didn't find out, whether they named this place for shallow waters ashore and ships wrecking on that particular stretch of the shore all the time. Whatever - it didn't look all that wrecked to me. Despite temperatures that most people would regard as pretty chilly and not exactly suited for any water action, the beach was brimming with students and skimboard surfers populating the sandy beach. I've talked to some of the skimboard surfers and got to take images of them in action, which will follow next.
Without the big camera, couldn't blur out the background. Still, this way, you get to read about the Good Housekeeping Award.

Following the wreck in Grantville, KS, this work train came in with a load of pre-fab track and ballast.
This was a light blue 1958 Edsel ranger 2 door hardtop. It was broadsided near Salt Lake City, Utah back in 1973 and has been sitting in someone's back yard ever since. Hit so hard that the rear window shattered from impact
The wheel wreck represents the remains of a mid 19th century sailing vessel. The site is characterised by a mound of cargo that consists of mining equipment, mainly pipes, rising mains and clack valves associated with pumping, sheave wheels, drive wheels and boiler tubes. The identity of the vessel is the subject of ongoing research.

The story goes back in 1980 when a boat was trying to illegally smuggle cigarettes and alcohol in Greece. The Greek navy chased the boat through the Ionian sea and due to the stormy weather it ran aground on the coast to the north of the island where you can find it nowadays

Highway 9 in California has many twists and turns as it rolls over the Santa Cruz Mountains. Like any stretch of road there will be unfortunate accidents, however the rugged terrain means that sometimes they just leave those accidents that went off the road there. I counted three cars on the Skyline to the Sea trail section that parallels Highway 9. This one looks like it has been there for decades.
The Chikuzen Wreck lies 13 or so miles northwest of Virgin Gorda and is one of the best dives I have done. Huge schools of grunts and snapper cover the reef as well as dozens of huge amberjack and almaco jacks and perhaps hundreds of great barracuda.
One of the wrecks - the image tag says Gubal Island but I suspect that might not be corect - anybody know?
This image was taken with a Canon Ixus 105 (the most basic p/s model in the Ixus line) and a jerry-rigged external strobe after my SLR housing flooded on the 2nd day of the trip. (I should also mention the happy ending here since I have been getting a lot of flickr condolences: everything was insured)
Meanwhile, I was both surprised and pleased with some of the results I was able to get with the little Ixus Franken-rig.
A wreck of a fishing boat which is still located were it stranded in Grindavík. Luckily nobody died but there has been casulties several years ago. This is just back part of the ship
This old wreck of a fishing boat must have seen countless dawns as it slowly rots away at Layan in Phuket. As I am going back to Phuket this weekend, I hope to be taking some more shots here but unfortunately the weather forecast isn't too good.
Also part of the series of photos shot in a wracked down, left behind industrial zone in Sardegna is this shot showing a maybe more recently "parked" truck full of some rotten electric stuff. I liked to play with the sun such that I would only get some rays of light shining out of the back of this odd "creature"...
This is all that remains of the small fishing vessel David Blake was was wrecked here on 15 March 1934.
In 1902 the dry dock was being towed from London, England to Durban, SA when it broke free during a storm and washed up along the Garden Route coast. It's pretty much only accessible during low tides, walking about 45 minutes from Glentana.

This boat is known as the Corpach Wreck but it is actually MV Dayspring . It has become a popular photographers spot. It must be said that the sight of this fishing boat is moving and melancholy. I tried to image its story, how did it get there, was it a disaster that got it there. I was surprised to know its younger than me built in 1975 and was a fishing vessel . In 2011 the boat was moored on Fort William at Corpach and broke free in a storm The elements were so strongly unleashed that the mooring holding the boat let go. Since then, the Dayspring MV has been quietly resting there ever since.
Vandals have ripped the insides out and added graffiti. There is now barred wire and cctv to ensure no further damage is done.
