One of the carriages of the fateful Train that was struck by the Tsunami waves on the morning of 26th of December 2004 at Peraliya, Sri Lanka. Except few passengers who manged to escape before the waves, all the 1000+ passengers on board perished during the incident, which is now considered as the worst train disaster in the world. Sign above the right window reads “Reserved for Clergy”. Shot with my old Canon Powershot A 75 (3.2 MP).

“The warning came too late…..no place to hide. We were down by the beach taking happy holiday snaps when the ocean started to recede. It took me a moment or two to realise what was about to happen. Everyone started to panic…..I could hardly hold a thought in my head with the sound of my heart beating and the adrenalin pumping through my veins. Then I remembered the cave we discovered at the end of the beach yesterday. That would be our only hope as we started to run. As we entered the cave I took one last look as the Tsunami hit….” Macro photograph taken from a palm tree, overcast day, camera set on aperture priority. Macro photography of bark, rocks and flowers are my passion. Always looking for that special ‘something’ thats a little bit different. Hope you enjoy my story and photograph!

“Hatred never ceases by hatred: but by love alone is healed. This is an ancient and eternal law.” Out of the mouths of people who had been wounded, oppressed, made homeless, aggrieved, and crushed by the pain of war, came a prayer proclaiming the ancient truth about love, a truth that was greater than all the sorrows they had seen and felt.......And now a Cyclone Let Us Remember Them All!

An entry for the Flash Fiction Group’s Back of an Envelope challenge. We needed to write the story as something urgent that had been written on an envelope, in less than 150 words. The only reason I write on paper is if I’m going somewhere and need that message left in the real world…

I wanted to do an image that symbolizes the Victorian bushfires that started on Saturday the 7th of February 2009, but I didn’t want this image to be sad (although we all know how devastating it has been), I wanted this image to be about the loss, the lives saved, how Australians came together and the growth to come. The Bird symbolizes all the lives that were saved, but this bird has no nest, so it also symbolizes all the homes that were lost and the nothingness some of these people now feel. The Birds claw clinging onto the tree branch is there to symbolize the fire fighters thoughts of hanging in there, and putting all these fires out. The Heart is there to symbolize all the heart ache and love, which us Australians have felt and will never forget. The Flower is there to symbolize all the help, support, donations and everything that us Australians have given to those affected, just to let them know that they have got support, and us Aussies are all here to help. The Music symbols are there to symbolize (all the lives lost) all the spirits flying up into the sky. The Leafs symbolize the growth to come, with rebuilding these affected communities. And I did not want an actual image of a fire in my design, so the swirls of the bird’s tail are there to symbolize the raging fire that affected so many. I ended up donating $630 for the bush fire appeal, from 2 paintings i auctioned and a couple of T’s :o)

Scanned Imaged from a 1983 Photograph taken with an Olympus OM1N. This is the freight ferry ‘European Gateway’ which Sank after a collision in the North Sea, just a couple of miles from the port of Felixstowe, Suffolk, en route to Zeebrugge, Belgium. / Not to be confused with the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster in March 1987, which was also a Townsend Thoresn ship. I took this during a sail along the coast in February 1983, and as you can see, the Ship has been uprighted, and I took this during the one circuit of the stricken ferry, clearly showing the plates welded onto the port side so to enable the ship to be pulled into an upright position. / I have added 4 more pictures in a Journal that I hope you have time to look at. For a more detailed account of the disaster and rescue, Click Here, where you will be taken to the Harwich (Essex) Lifeboat Station. More about the Ferry follows. / / ‘European Gateway was built 1975 by Schichau Unterweser AG, Bremerhaven, for the Townsend-Thoresen service between Felixstowe and Europort. During the summer of 1980, she operated between Cairnryan-Larne. European Gateway then returned to Felixstowe service until 1982 when she was involved in a collision with the Speedlink Vanguard off Felixstowe. She sank with the loss of six lives. After salvage, she was rebuilt and entered service as the Flavia between Ancona-Igoumenitsa-Patras in 1984. In 1988 she was sold to GT-Link, entering service as the Travemünde Link between Gedser-Travemünde. In 1992, registered ownership passed to Europa Linien, and she was renamed Rostock Link when the German port changed to Rostock. In 1996, ownership of Europa Linien passed to DSB (later Scandlines). In 1999 Rostock Link was chartered to Mols Linien for their Århus-Kalundborg route under the marketing name Kalundborg Link. In 2000 she was sold to Agoudimos Lines, and was renamed Penelope A for a route Igoumenitsa-Brindisi.’ (Simplonpc) ‘Text’ above taken from: / Simplonpc.(no date) Townsend-Thoreson Ferries Postcards.

Hello, dear RB-friends! Two years ago I made this photograph of the beautiful nature area ” the Schelphoek” at Serooskerke, about 5 km. from my house. Until 1953 this was this an agriculture area. / During the storm night of 31 January – 1 February 1953 the dikes broke at several places. By the enormous strength of the water deep gutters in the fields arose. These gutters have been stopped never more. / On this photograph you see one of these deep gutters. / The fields around these gutters have been planted with a lot of trees. And now, after 56 years, we can enjoy a splendid piece of nature, which has been caused by a big disaster. In the South-West of the Netherlands every year on the 1st of February the victims of the February-disaster are rememered.

The original Sunshine Skyway Bridge crossing over Tampa Bay , Florida was destroyed in May 1980, when a freighter collided with a pier during a storm, on the southbound lanes, sending over 1200 feet of the bridge into Tampa Bay. The collision caused six automobiles and a Greyhound bus to fall 150 feet , killing 35 people.The concrete material were collected in order to be placed offshore and along the remaining bridge approaches to become artificial reefs, and this some of the bridge that is left. best view large / canon 5D mark ll / canon 17-40mm 23mm focal / ISO 100 / 1/50 f/9 /

Last night, I heard about those 32 new planets that have been discovered. As soon as the newscaster finished giving the headline, his co-anchor/deskmate chirped: “Well, now we can move there!” I assumed she was joking. But who knows? Is that where we are, a completely disposable society? Buy a new toy, throw it out, buy another. Buy a new dress, throw it out, buy another? Use up the resources of a perfectly lovely planet, rip it to shreds, stomp on it and make it a mess…then whooooooooooosh off to another? ::sigh:: I’m wishing that we could be a little more responsible: Repair things. Renew things. Make the world better, not turn it into trash. / Anyway, this image is so many paintings and painted photoimages that I lost track at 7 layers. I think it looks like someone’s sewn a little patch on Earth. We can check out those new planets (it’s so cool that they’re “close”) but we really should be sure that the one we’re living on is in good shape, too. /
