The Peter Iredale came to grief on the Oregon coast on October 25, 1906. The shipwreck is almost four miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River, and about 10 miles from Astoria. The bones of the ship make terrific material for photographers, and while it's possible to get a bad photo, the opposite is more likely. The setting is idyllic, and on the evening of March 1, 2009, the air was damp from rain and the light was spectacular.
Wow! What a stunning photo of the wreck, amazing colours.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot! You caught it at the perfect time of day. The reflection of the light on the water makes the silhouetting of the wreck even more dramatic!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing shot...such wonderful soft colors in the water and sky form an excellent contrast against the silhouetted shipwreck.
ReplyDeletePerfect shot. A golden water and a golden sky.
ReplyDeleteIncredible, dramatic shadow shot! The colors are breathtaking! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheryl,
ReplyDeleteI am glad I am not the only one! No one I know likes it-they think I am weird I think! There is nothing I like more than the animal bit of a Natural History museum!

ReplyDeleteLove this image. A summer never passes without at least a family weekend at Fort Stevens and a hike out to see the wreck. This reminds me I should make reservations soon. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAn atmospheric photo almost begging for a story to be told! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteLooking at the reflection is amazing beauty. I understand why photographers love the scenery.

Have a nice week ahead.
