aground

Fort Stevens SP, Oregon

In 1906 a steel hulled sailing vessel, the Peter Iredale, ran aground on the treacherous sand bars at the mouth of the Columbia River...nowadays only a small, skeletal, rusting section of prow is left to remind of the incident

Dan has also posted an image of the wreck this morning, an alternate view well worth checking out: https://pbase.com/dlgphoto/image/172680678

This is a haunting scene that you have captured perfectly! I feel the reflection is most important to tell this story. V

Interesting compared to Dan's shot - this one's is somber and dark - goes well with the wreck. V

Ghostly wreckage superbly captured. V

Poor navigation skills! Great image it gave you though.

I like the lighting and reflection very much. V

Yes, ghostly is how I'd describe this shot - love the gloomy sky and the sombre palette here David

Beau rendu dramatique de cette épave. V.

Foundered and forlorn, sadness under that gloomy sky. I love how you captured this including that wonderful reflection in the wet shoreline.

A well captured image under an appropriate darkish sky.

Looks dramatic! Well processed too.

Looks quite ghostly, a sombre reminder of a past tragedy.

Bill Miller		12-Jun-2022 22:47
Impressive picture

Nick Paoni		12-Jun-2022 19:47
Ok- this is way cool. Love how the diffuse light from the cloudy sky makes the rust color pop. Portrait framing worked like a charm to feature the subject and its reflection.

Johnny JAG		12-Jun-2022 19:21
Very dramatic image.

Helen Betts		12-Jun-2022 16:55
Great mood and reflections in this fine capture. As soon as I saw the thumbnail I figured you had been there together.

Jola Dziubinska		12-Jun-2022 16:45
Striking photo, great composition and steel tones, superb with the reflections. V.

Very brooding and a great use of processing. This is a very personalized depiction, which is what it's all about ~BVV~

Dan Greenberg		12-Jun-2022 16:41
Very dramatic! It brings forth the proper somber mood for the wreck and the weather both. ~BV~
