DC3 Plane Wreck,
Solheimasandur,
Iceland.
The plane wreck on Sólheimasandur glacial outwash plain in South Iceland has featured in countless traveler photos, a Bollywood movie, several TV commercials and music videos, perhaps most famously in a 2007 Sigur Rós documentary, and more recently in the video for Justin Bieber’s I’ll Show You. The scenery and otherworldly composition of black sand and weathered gray hulk of the plane draw thousands of visitors every year.
According to official US records the crash took place on November 24, but this is incorrect: The correct time and date is the afternoon of November 21, 1973, as reported by local media and eyewitness accounts. The cause of the crash are somewhat unclear as accounts differ as to whether it was due to human error, a mechanical failure, the plane running out of fuel, a storm - or a combination of all these factors. The most popular theory of what caused the crash is that the plane crashed after running out of fuel during a storm, after the pilot accidentally switched to the wrong fuel tank.
All five crew members survived the crash uninjured, but the plane was badly damaged.
Another shot from a recent trip to the east coast, this time of the wreck (or what remains of it) on Longniddry Beach.
Having now been to the location I will be better prepared the next time... I spent quite a bit of time waiting for the tide to go out far enough!

I've seen this book numerous times over the years and never bought it, but it seems lockdown was the perfect time to wreck this journal, a lot more fun than I expected!
Happy New Year to All...:)
The Wreck at Hooe Lake.
With the weather so abysmal on Sunday I was scratching around for somewhere to go and something to photograph, I caught an hour at Wembury with the Surfers and then decided I would venture down to Radford/Hooe Lake on the way home, the sun was setting and in between the fast moving clouds and frequent showers there was some nice light being thrown onto the old hulk, it was blowing a hoolie so I could only manage a 15 second exposure before the spay got onto the ND filter, and to be honest a normal exposure would not have suited the conditions! :(

Looking at this boat it can be easily viewed as a potential project to restore it, however on closer inspection it was positively falling to pieces.
But what a gift to a photographer, foreground interest and a scenic loch with mountains distant.
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 ):
I called a previous image 'wrecked' but I think this one probably deserves it more with a perfect opening in the clouds on the horizon showing the remains of a local fishing boat that didn't quite make it home although quite how this happened I don't fully understand with this part of the island being protected from the rough seas by the surrounding islands. Maybe the boat wasn't the only thing wrecked at the time..
Thank you for paddling by :)

This was a ship carrying asylum seekers in 2013. People searching for a safer and better life, for greener pastures. What did they go through to get to this ship, what did they go through on the journey across? What happened when they landed because it is not easy getting off that beach. It is sort of in the middle of nowhere so which direction did they go in this hard harsh environment.? Where are they now? Have they found greener pastures?
