I love this shot. The texture of some of the rusted steel almost looks like wood.

This almost looks like a pier that has deteriorated or what was left after a hurricane storm.

For those of you who want to go diving in this area, I think you'd reconsider if you knew the quality of the water and stuff that's junked around Staten Island... ;-)

the raised areas along the length of the hull are for reinforcement. probably used as some sort of service vessel where it made frequent contact with other boats or docks. just a guess.

How sad to be so alone. There wasn't even anyone who could decide to toss their stuff.

What I would do to see smothing so amazing, god....

Yeah zeezyx, a real des-res if you fancy living surrounded by stinking, sludgy water in one of the most polluted places on earth! And I really wouldn't relish the prospect of spending a night surrounded by these dead, decaying hulks looming out of the darkness at every turn! The sounds would scare me silly... the gurgling and groaning as the advancing tide slowly fills the lower decks with water for the thousandth time, the creaking of rotted hulls, cabin doors banging in the wind. Freakier than any haunted house...

That said, there are rumours that a lone hermit lives (or lived) on the Duke of Lancaster, the remains of a beached liner on the Welsh coast. That is what you might call 'extreme squatting'...

Hey, at least there's a heater in the ceiling!!

Motts, I just stumbled on this site 3 days ago and can't stop looking at the photos. Very cool stuff.

Anyways.. that's a "Shadow Box", basically it's to make sure all the tools are put back in their proper spot and not left laying around. Just thought I'd put in my .02 :)

Wow! for a cuckoo's house they spaired no expense in making the place look great.

But, then again, Nessie COULD be a diplodocus.

Yeah, I took a look at some of his stuff...he's talented and artistic, its just not my medium. Stuff like that usually doesn't bother me extremely much, but that really did haunt me. What I wonder is where he gets his, er, "props."

Motts, I think the line "The photographer of all these needs to learn the first rule of taking pics..." was what led to all the attacks on Carl. It sounds a little condescending to me. Maybe we're just to sensitive. We are of the opinion that to attack you is to attack us....childish, I guess, defensive for sure... but, you know, you're Motts, the man, after all! You go where no man has gone before, you have been beamed up...you have created the website of art. You bring images to us, that we cannot acquire on our own!!!! And I have a pedestal with your name on it!!!!! It comes with its own light fixture/soap dispenser thingy.

Typically they aren't wires. These are threaded rods
with turnbuckles in the middle of their length.

wow. thanks for totally scaring the crap out of me with that Nurse standing there. I totally see it and I'm going to have nightmares. haha
