Exe Estuary at Turf Lock, Powderham, Devon.
As my last upload mentioned that I found it difficult to get a good composition on these old wrecks, I thought I would illustrate what I mean, so yes this is a reject :~)
It was suggested that shooting through the holes in the closest, to frame the second smaller one might work, which got me thinking. I must have shot this pair from just about every possible angle, but never tried through the holes and it was only while going back over previous attempts that I realised why. Because the smaller boat lies with it's rear, or should I say stern, up higher. the view with the shallow angle needed would only show the back of it and it would mask the remainder of the boat. I doubt it would give enough shape to be able to tell what it was.
I will give it a try next time I am there, just to make sure though :~)
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.

Someone obviously pretty attached to this heap of what used to be a vehicle. Had it hauled to the grassy yard here...and left.
Several car wrecks can be found in this area where the road is winding down from the mountain range and the slopes are very steep.
February 12, 2011 - Happy Birthday to me! I bought Wreck This Journal at Barnes & Noble in Burbank, CA.
Was not really hard to start with it. I always crack spines and I write in books.
But it's kind of fun to be really allowed to ;-)

A wrecked old car. I only took a few images at off angles, and wish I had taken more. I added even more blurring to the background and overdid it here - the weird 3D video game effect is striking but makes me queasy somehow.
Taken at John McLean's autoyard near Acton, Ont.

The thing I really find interesting is when the main exterior wall is removed and you can see the wall colors of each apartment. If I had shot this a few days earlier you would see a lot more. They're about to tear down the last building so hopefully I can grab some earlier stages of demolishing this time.
