I had a little fun with a friend and made a fake news article about a train accident. I staged the scene on my model railroad and then wrote the article to go along with it. Using Photoshop I made it appear to be a printed news article on thin paper (you can see another article on the reverse leaking through) and look like a computer scanned it at a slight angle.

...." Τους ναυτικούς, τους γέρους συλλογίζομαι
που στα μεγάλα των χειμώνων βράδια
με υπομονή κι αγάπη για τα εγγόνια τους
είτε γι' αυτούς μικρά φτιάχνουν καράβια.
Και δεν μπορούν πια να ταξιδέψουνε
μα κάθε μέρα ως το λιμάνι πάνε
κι άνεργοι, ανώφελοι και πένθιμοι
σαν κάτι τις να χάσανε κοιτάνε.............."
This was taken in Fleetwood in Lancashire on the River Wyre. Getting to it is a bit risky as you can end up sinking in the quicksand and the tide comes in really quick.
There's a good 6 or 7 ship wrecks down there so worth another look at some point.
A fellow flickr member contacted me with some info on this boat. It's name is "Our Joanne", and was abandoned in the 1970's. Thanks to John D Hare.

The Tibbetts, formerly known as Russian frigate #356, rests on the bottom off the island of Cayman Brac, in the Caribbean. Nice wreck dive.
Have just spent a thoroughly enjoyable week in Suffolk on the east coast of England. Not a photography trip as such, but managed to grab one or two shots while there. These wrecked boats at Orford were fabulous subject matter.
The Fleetwood Wrecks are a group of old boats abandoned on Fleetwood marshes, which are slowly rotting away. It is possible to walk up to them, but wellingtons are definitely required in the winter months when the ground can become extremely boggy. Care is also required at high tide as there are some deep channels on the marshes.
No not me, the boat!!
One of my favourite places. It makes for quite a 'busy' photo, but this is what it's like, all crooked and jumbled, everything weathered and old, then the shiny new boats in the background. There are even some umbellifers in the foreground here, this place has it all!!
The song.....just because it's Friday night :) have a great weekend all!
With the setting sun resting on top of the Wreck Lead Bridge, LI 876 crosses over the channel at walking speed. In the background is an inbound airliner preparing to land at JFK.
This is an old one I found from last year, some of the wrecks on the coast of Mull that I shot while there and experimenting with long exposure black and white. Do not think it really worked properly but still like it. Probably becuase it comes with memories for me.
Have been back here a few times and getting better results as time goes by. Juggling weather, tides, swell and wind can be challenging to get a reasonable image of these relics of disaster from over a hundred years ago.
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.
This wreck is “Manx Rose” and she was built in Arklow, Ireland, in 1942 for the Admiralty. She used to work from Pwllheli in the early 1980’s and then from Amlwch. She was decomissioned about 1985 and taken to Dulas Estuary, Anglesey.
We passed this field of cars on our way back from somewhere, so had to stop to see what it was exactly. An enormous load of old Audi's, and just a few Skodas in a corner.
Cargo from the wreck of the Yolanda. It is at a depth between 10 metres and 30 metres near Ras Mohamed peninsula, Egypt.
Taken at a depth of 20 metres.

Its been an iconic scene on the Gold Coast motorway for many a decade but getting a decent image of the pink FX Holden which appears as if its has just smashed through this old house and come to a holt precariously resting on the front verandah has been elusive .
I'm nearly always driving , its the wrong time of the day and the light is not right , the traffic is far too heavy , to dangerous to stop , let alone get back on safely , which is nearly always the case at this spot on the highway .. For one reason or another its been a near impossible task capturing this what looks like a scene created straight from the hand of cartoonist Eric Jolliffe with his old Aussie life themes in the vane of his Saltbush Bills Ettamogah pub and the like ..
Dinkum Aussie stuff this ole wreck of a house with its bright pink Holden on the porch .

Couldn't help entering the building and take this 3-shots HDR with a 15mm Fisheye.
The ceiling was dripping water (I hope it was just water).
