I have been swamped lately between shooting photos for my school and the school work it self, but I finally found some time to post this snap i took at wreck city. It was a really cool event and I hope to see more like it in the future!
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.

WRECKS was in town from Tokyo for an exhibit he is a part of. He wanted to go benching, so I took him to several spots. Here he got to see a crew kicking cars.
Benched in Southern California
I was biking by and had to stop and take a picture.
This is a fairly impressively wrecked BMW. The airbags went off. The car crumpled as designed.
But that was a LOT of energy to dissapate in a short period of time. Imagine a pedestrian or cyclist or motorcyclist or cute furry animal getting hit with that much energy.
Yet people still drive drunk, drugged up, impaired, tired, or while talking on their cellphone. And the problem is, it's not evolution in action if you take somebody with you.

Ok, so watching a sunset in January is quite different than in summertime. It was cold and I forgot my gloves so it got to the point I had to give up taking photos as I couldn't change my camera settings shooting on manual.
In addition, I hadn't walked up Wreck in a while so I was completely out of breath when I made to the top and a few days later still had sore thighs.
Can't wait to go back again.

THE MORRISBURG RAILWAY HORROR.
Recovery of the Bodies of Driver Stewart and Fireman Clark.
Brockville. April 25. By persistent and almost superhuman work on the part of the regular road staff assisted by scores of willing volunteers the bodies of the engineer and fireman killed on tbe Grand Trunk at Morrisburg on Friday morning were recovered late in the afternoon. Stewart's body was in sight of those working for hours before it was possible to get at it without removing a vast pile ot wreckage whicn had tumbled into the gorge. When found he was sitting in an almost natural position in tbe cab seat. His face had been very little injured, but his body and limbs were considerably crushed and mangled. - Tender hands carried the body to the bank and the search was then continued for Clark the fireman. The latter was also found in tbe cab but presented a horrible spectacle. The poor fellow had been jammed close on to the boiler head and in addition to being horrribly mangled was scalded beyond recognition. Bcth bodies were at once taken to Morrisburg and duuring the night brought to their homes here
It is impossible yet to accurately estimate the loss to tbe railway company, but it will certainly be heavy. The bridge is a wreck as are also the thirteen cars, but it is thought the engine can be made available for service. Transfers are still necessary, though a large force of men are busily engaged in the construction of a temporary wooden bridge,
La prima cosa da fare durante un naufragio è comprendere che si sta naufragando.
Subito dopo, capire dove sono le vie d'uscita, i mezzi di sicurezza, le scialuppe e quant'altro necessario per la salvezza.
Bisogna seguire attentamente le norme scritte in caso di arresto motori, incendi, falle.
Lasciare gli eroismi alle pagine dei libri di avventura.
Il comandante che affonda con la propria nave è materiale per gli ammiragliati o fascicoli per il Ministero della Marina Militare.
Durante l'avversità, l'uomo rifiuta di essere un naufrago, un po' per paura, un po' perché vuole dimostrare a sé stesso di essere capace di risolvere l'avvenuta difficoltà.
Ma il più delle volte, bisogna aver la cultura di comprendere che navigando per tanti mari può avvenire l'intoppo.
Perciò...naufraghi di oggi, naufraghi della vita, della cultura, della politica, sforzatevi un pochino, andate a prendere il posto nella scialuppa di salvataggio ed abbandonate il relitto.
Seguite le norme base di ogni salvataggio.
Solo allora tornerete in possesso della dignità che vi compete: quella di aver capito che siete naufraghi.
