And so the first ever pilgrimage to the land of Ice and Fire has come to an end as I find myself with a frightening number of raw files to pore over, discard, keep, process, and furrow my brow at in the coming weeks.
1100 miles around the ring road in a yellow VW camper van named Brian, with a detour here and there was always going to be a challenge, but one I will remember happily as we plan another slightly more target specific visit in a couple of years from now. The plane wreck was the penultimate stop on our travels, and despite arriving there after most of the crowds had left, a persistent drift of stragglers wandering over the fuselage and into the scene brought many a distraction, despite the long exposure time ghosting them out of the image.
The United States Navy Douglas Dakota crashed here in November 1973, and thankfully all of the crew survived the accident. Visitors can pay a truly Icelandic fare to board a bus from the car park and make the 4 mile return journey or they can walk or cycle to the wreck. It was a bit of a surprise at around 8pm to find a wedding party arrive on foot, with a particularly fetching bride in a white gown clambering onto the wing to be photographed beside the lucky groom. As the group swarmed over the scene we decided to move on and head for Skogafoss.
It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm finally getting to editing some pictures from my trip to Puerto Rico and I just finished a trip to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. I still have to many images to sort but I'm gonna try and post them as soon as my schedule allows!
I visited this famous location for the first time on a quick jaunt to the west coast in February. What had started as a sunny day began to cloud over so there was a somewhat diffused, soft light over the scene. Ben Nevis was looking good under a dusting of snow. The tides had dumped lots of driftwood around the wreck.
Wreck of the Norwegian barque SS Nornen. March 1897, the ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat the John Godfrey Morris, launched from Burnham, and landed safely at three o'clock in the afternoon. The rescue is recorded on the honours board of rescues made by the three lifeboats at Burnham during the period from 1867 to 1930 and which today stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.

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!

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this wreck in an otherwise empty lot was texting. Now texting may or may not have caused this damage but it's important regardless. People please, please, please don't text and drive.
MS Baloeran was built in 1929 and commissioned a year later.
For ten years, the Baloeran shuttled thousands of passengers and countless tons of valuable cargo between Rotterdam and the Dutch East Indies via the regular route through the Suez Canal. In May 1940, the ship was captured by the German occupiers, who converted it into a hospital ship for the Kriegsmarine and renamed it Strassburg. In late August 1943, the ship struck a mine near Egmond aan Zee and sank. And since then it has been located at this spot near the buoy.

Now known as The Corpach Wreck, the MV Dayspring ran aground near the Corpach Sea Lock in December 2011 after breaking her mooring during a storm. She triggered an air sea search in 2017 when her emergency beacon was triggered, even though she had lain on the beach for several years.

One that I've been processing for a while now :) Quite often photographed shipwreck located between Arrecife and Costa Teguise in Lanzarote. Visited this place a few times during my little holliday until I've got what I wanted :) This was shot at a sunset during high tide and was a 180 second exposure. As always thank you all for looking and all the comments and constructive criticism are more than welcome as usual :)
Amidst the fragments of what was once whole, a sense of being wrecked pervades the landscape of emotions. It's as if the world has tilted, leaving us unmoored and adrift amidst the debris of heartache and loss. The echoes of memories reverberate, haunting the spaces between shattered dreams. But within this wreckage lies the potential for renewal, a chance to rebuild amidst the ruins. Just as the phoenix rises from its ashes, the journey from being wrecked to finding strength is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a reminder that even in the midst of despair, there's a flicker of hope waiting to be ignited.

Big storm on the Central Coast a few years ago. Two boats washed ashore that morning. One was smashed to smithereens under the pier. This one was about 200 ft west of the pier.
I visited this wreck in Wrabness Essex 3 years ago and took a series of images i was very happy with at the time, they were very dark and moody with heavy overcast clouds. I vowed to return one day and try and capture a sunrise image that would do this scene justice. Well i'm so happy to have captured this amazing sunrise with the wreck looking glorious in the golden light. Sometimes all the cosmic tumblers fall into place for one precious moment of photographic joy. This is x5 shot HDR image @f11 with a 0.6 medium grad filter. This image will definitely be on next years calendar for sure.
Last month I did a bushwalk with Tatters to the Piper Comanche plane wreck in D'Aguilar National Park in Brisbane, Queensland.
The plane crashed in bad weather in 1977 and unfortunately the pilot was killed. Along the way we saw an old logging winch as previously the park was a state forest.

I really liked how my ship looked in grey, so I figured I'd share it with you all to see what you thought :) . Comments appreciated, thanks for stopping by!
