A couple of years ago in a huge storm, a bulk carrier broke anchor near the harbour and beached itself at Newcastle. It became a rather conspicuous tourist attraction until the next high tide when it was eventually pulled free of the sandbank. There is now a street named after it! I couldn't resist being one of the 'tourists' that stopped my car along the beach drive to quickly take a photo. My kids were "So embarrassed" ;) but the light was nice and we live a few hours' drive away, so it's not like I could go back the next day...
AH...but it made for a nice post for this theme, didn't it....and to top it off it's RED!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scene.
ReplyDeleteThey did well to drag it off the sandbank...its a biggie
ReplyDeleteKids get embarrassed by everything parents do, lol. I'm glad you didn't let them steer you away!
ReplyDeletelol Your kids sound like mine!
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't miss that one...love how the surf leads us out to that conspuous boat!
Kids and their imaginations! Glad you didn't give in and leave without a shot of this happening. The moment captured!
ReplyDeletethe beauty of the photo belies the danger the carrier and your coast were in..glad you got a photo before she got away to the safety..
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC shot!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about your kids being embarrassed by you.....eventually they'll learn you can do WAY MORE embarrassing things if they want a REAL reason and they'll stop whinging about the 'little' stuff!
oooh yes! way more embarrassing :) and they know it!
