First: thanks for all your likes, comments and tweets on my previous entry: the shot of the Dubai skyline taken from the Four Points Sheraton hotel on Sheik Zayed road. It's always great to post something that gets a really positive response :-)
As for this one: while I don't think that this one will generate quite so much interest I am pleased with it as it's been almost two years since I posted a shot of any of the wrecked or abandoned boats at Fleetwood. I also have a second, slightly less abstract/graphic shot that I'll post on Friday.
As always, let me know what you think.

Never been there when the tide has been in - always at low tide - and didn't realise they were covered this much. Even though I've been there several times I didn't realise what I was looking at until I read your comment

Simon: this one is further down than the main wrecks and was shot at low tide. You need to walk past the main set of boats and then follow the shore to the left. You'll find this one about 200 yards further down the estuary.

Well... the Wyre Wreck is looking a little more wrecked these days. Took me a moment to figure this out. It looks like the wreck and its reflection are just floating in space. For some reason - for me anyway - it is peaceful. Nice David.

I've always loved mirrored reflections like this shot, they're so Rorschach, however this one is so Nightingale.

David, If you do a book of David Nightingale sea & beach 'scapes' I'd buy it! To Dan, personally I see a bat.....perhaps.

Surreal dream state with a desert like quality

I really like the simplicity of this photo. The emptiness in the background and right side of the image really draws the eye to the ship. Very nice!

Beautiful abstract composition, and as usual excellent processing, makes photography an art object
Thanks everyone :)
It's intriguing, that's for sure.
Absolutely LOVE this image David. Bravo!!!
