Wrecked.
Remains of a sailing vessel washed ashore off Carpenters Rocks, South East South Australia.
The boat is submerged in sand and is only visible like this on low tides with slight winds. Slowly being broken down by the ocean waves.
Had to wade out to get this shot as it was…


Wrecked. belongs to the following groups:
Nature's Reclamation, Nautical and SEA Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

Ann Rodriquez
I love it! I love the thought of you standing out there with wet feet, too. lol I love the gorgeous blues and purple hues here, and the movement of the water around the obstruction that interrupts it. Beautiful composition, and brilliant colors!

Julie Thomas
Brilliant shot Stephen! the colours and composition are amazing… well captured!
Ryan Carter
Great shot mate! Where did you take this?
Steve Chapple replied
Ryan. Its South of the lighthouse at Carpenters Rocks in the South East. I think they call it red Rock Bay. Only usually visible on really low tides. Would be a good place to be at sunrise if the tide was low as you could get the sun coming up over the boat.
Basia McAuley
What a beautiful image!! Love the colours, the angle, the light,, it’s all stunning!
JohnEvans
Beautiful. Hard to believe the myriad of colours in this composition. Just about all the colours found in our autumn forests. Then there`s the colour and “texture” of the water.
Stephen Mitchell
Great capture. Another location I have to get to at some stage!
KathyT

AngieBel
Is this what you did this evening after we met up earlier this afternoon??? You just wandered down to the beach and took a shot like THIS?! Wow!
Steve Chapple replied
Yep, this took my eye rather than the wave movement through the gap that I originally intended to do…..
Heather Rivet...
outstanding
Joel Hall
Great shot! You’re a hardcore photographer wading out in the water with $$ camera equipment :p
Steve Chapple replied
Thanks guys for the comment. I think the funnier sight would have been this old guy wading out in his underwear to get this shot, thankfully no one else was on the beach…...Trod very carefully and washed the camera pretty well straight away after the shoot….
Glenn Alderson

By the way Stephen, you might like to know that someone has ripped off this shot and claiming it as their own at http://www.redbubble.com/people/splean/art/1818139-2-shipwrecked. Looks like someone doing it for a laugh, although can’t really see the funny side myself…
