This shipwreck has become known as the Corpach Wreck, however, her real name is MV Dayspring. Built in 1975, she was an old fishing vessel that was moored at Kinlochleven Pier in 2001. Unfortunately in 2011, a heavy storm caused a chain to fail and she ran aground and has been there ever since.
Another sunset image from my recent few days holiday in Somerset.
This image is of the shipwreck of Norwegian barque SS Nornen which is located on Berrow beach near Burnham-on-sea.
I did not expect to see any colour from the sunset due to the heavy cloud cover but luckily there was a small clear area in the sky on the horizon which provided some colour to this dark dramatic image!
For those that are interested the SS Norman ran around in March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.
When the mists cleared on the morning of March 3, the crippled ship was spotted just off Gore Sands, her sails blown to rags by the gale. The Burnham lifeboat was launched with its crew of ten oarsmen battled through high seas and winds to the SS Nornen. Despite the gale, the lifeboat managed to get alongside the helpless ship, just as she was being driven onto the sands
.
The ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat and landed safely at Burnham at three o'clock in the afternoon. The rescue is recorded on the honours board which stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.

If you fancy a visit to the wreck you need to make sure the tide is low and park at St Mary's Church at Berrow, just south of Brean, take the foot path to your left and walk across the golf course over the sand dunes on to the beach and the wreck will be seen in northerly direction on the beach.

For those of you with an iphone, I have 100 of my "best" in an application called "ifolio". It is a free application
This week has been very busy for me so I had to get out and do some "therapy". When I arrived at Dicky Beach I got a big surprise. First, every beach access I tried was closed with a fence due to massive beach erosion. After the 4th attempt I found an access point to get down to the beach and walk towards the wreck. But wait....were there was another surprise, the wreck has been wrecked by the recent wild weather. One of my preferred sections of the wreck has been knocked over by wild seas. How sad to see this...it has lost a lot of it's magic for me.

Unbelievable, during my research about the plane wreck I found this. It makes me so sad: icelandmag.visir.is/article/myrdalssandur-sand-beach-famo...
The wreck at Saltwick Bay, North Yorkshire coast. The Admiral Van Tromp was a Scarborough trawler that ran aground on 30/09/1976.
The exact circumstance of the accident remain a mystery as the boat was on completely the wrong course and a senior nautical surveyor at the inquest stated it appeared it was driven onto the rocks deliberately.

This wreck really need no introduction as its become one of the most photographed scenes in Scotland. It has also been a popular posting on flickr in recent weeks and have of late seen some lovely shots by other photographers such as Andy Rouse's, Katybun of Beverley and Images from Mark Waidson
Feeling some what out of my depth (mind the pun) with my interpretation of the image, I have been hesitant in posting my version of this fast becoming staple of photographers everywhere.
So, having sat on this image for a good couple of weeks the upload itch has gotten the better of me and here she is :)
Aurika, derelict pleasure craft left abandoned on the banks of the Pitt River.
She sat there alone and decaying for the best part of about two years.
Since this image was captured, a notice of removal was placed in the local papers.
Then as promised by the authorities, she vanished. Destination unknown.
* If you zoom in close enough you might notice a large fracture in her bow and continuing through to the bottom of the hull.

Another shot of the wrecked boats at Salen on the island of Mull but this time taken as it was getting dark. I'm quite enjoying experimenting with flash at this time of the evening as it can produce some interesting results

The old wreck at Magherclogher Beach, Bunbeg, Co.Donegal, Ireland.
This famous Shipreck is the 'Bád Eddie' (Eddie's Boat), a shipwreck which has been situated on Magherclogher beach since the early 70s where it had run ashore due to rough seas.
Here is one of many small boats abandoned along the shore of the River Medway at Hoo, Kent. This is for my friend mickeydud who is helping me print some pictures for a project. He and I enjoyed a day out here with our local photography club and we were treated to some lovely skies. Thanks Mick.
Taken at Blyth beach this evening.
I truly wish the remains of this hulk of a hull wasn't next to the dilapidated pipe but you play the hand you're dealt!
The sky in front of me picked up some lovely pinky purpley hues however behind me it was ablaze. Sadly behind me was also Fergusons Transport yard. I refer to my former statement.
Still, this shot includes a wreck, a pipe, a pier, Blyth lighthouse and 3 wind turbines. Did a seascape ever include more interest?
She has become known as, "The Corpach Wreck," however, her real name is MV Dayspring. She was built in 1975 and in her prime an excellent fishing vessel bringing mackerel and herring. She was renamed Golden Harvest by new owners and made her last voyage under her own power in 2001. She was left moored for several years at Kinlochleven Pier. Due to a raiser chain failure during a heavy storm she ran aground near the Corpach Sea Lock on the 8th December 2011 and has lain there ever since.
This is one beautiful piece of engineering beauty and ship design, I'd love to see her take to the water under her own power once more.

Standing above the famous ship wreck at Navagio Beach on Zakynthos. It is an interesting perspective and a nice hike. Since the beach was closed for people some years ago I think it is easier to get nice shots because there will be no people/ships in your shot.
Found the old wreck after a longish walk, somebody had conveniently made a gap in the fence. Scrambled down to the waters edge over boulders, and rubbish, set up tripod and it started to rain!!
An old umbrella was their, but still had to wipe filters after a couple of shots. However,managed to get a few photo's.
Got quite wet and wellie leaked staggered back to the car. Thinking why do I do this!!!
Thank you to Trevor Cotton for info on location made it after a year!! Trevor Cotton
