The German Warship UJ-2216 was actually a luxury yacht, built in Leith (UK) for Henry de Rotschild, named Eros. She was taken over to the Marine Nationale Francaise during 1939, when she was at Le Havre, and renamed to serve in Meditarranean as AD 196.
At the end of 1942 she was captured by the Kriegsmarine, and transformed in anti submarine corvette with the name of Uboot-Jäger UJ 2216. Her new base was Genova. On September 13, 1944, she was escorting two minelayers to La Spezia harbour, when the convoy was attacked by an allied torpedo-bomber: two torpedoes hit the corvette, causing the explosion of the depth charges: the stern was completely destroyed, and the "KT" sank rapidly. Six men of the crew died, and seventeen more were missing.
Now, she is a very nice dive in Liguria, with a very scenic front twin AA-Gun.

Am Autobahnkreuz Nürnberg wo die Bundesautobahn 3 auf die A9 trifft wurde der Feierabendverkehr in einer Landzeitbelichtung eingefangen.
I went out between passing showers, and caught this snail 'flat out' and scurrying to find a dry place before the next cloudburst. Good thing it didn't have far to go..... :))
Happy Snail Saturday!
Take time to relax and enjoy your weekend :)
Another peaceful start to a day on the Murray River at Mannum, South Australia.
It may have been calm in Mannum, but thoughts go to our Queensland flickr friends (and everyone else) in South East Queensland as they endure the full force of a cyclone.
Rush is a 2013 biographical sports film centred on the 1970’s rivalry between two Formula One drivers to fame and glory, the Briton James Hunt and the Austrian Niki Lauda — until a horrible accident threatens to end it all.
Also a tribute to Manson, Prost, Senna, Hamilton.

Yes indeed, it's rush hour and they're backed up shell to shell. Was so fun to watch this huge group of turtles jockey for position to go up this tree. Counted 18 of them in this area at one point in time. Taken at Aqua Caliente Park which is a beautiful, large palm oasis with walking trails, multiple ponds, all sorts of wildlife, historic buildings, an art gallery and an island. Such a great place to get "off the grid" and enjoy some peaceful, back to nature time.
This location is one of my favorite places to photograph and is very close to home. The light here changes so drastically, so quickly, it never looks the same.
In this image cars and trucks pass over a dam in the early morning hours as fog rises from the river to the lake like a waterfall.
This month the theme for our monthly challenge was chosen by Jette who nominated "abstract". This is my contribution taken at Werribee River on one of my bike rides.
We are constantly in a rush; rushing to where we are going; rushing for many other reasons., but... why rush? In the midst of the hurry, we might just miss the finest moments of our lives. We only live once; the last thing you want to do is to rush through it.
