Inside the ship... a very dangerous workplace for the scrappers!

I must agree, it does resemble a metal forest, like one of those dead wood forests that always rise out of the swamps. Amazing picture.

Looks like it's taken right out of that Myst game. Wonderful.

dose anyone remember the sci-fi serials? It looks like a robot escaped from one and is in this pic. Does anyone see it?

Ok, so now I'll explain. I love it because of the title. One may skip over this photo, but come back to it because the title is intriguing. There is more to look at in this photo than what you see at first and I love that fact!

Oh, thanks for editing out the stupid comments made earlier today. That person was making me angry (but I'm sure you could tell that)! I think your photos are extremely wonderful and intriguing, Mr. Motts!

I must get up before Motts does, so I do get to see those stoopid comments before he edits them out.

If you don't like a website, just leave. There's no need to leave fingerprints in the comments.

Backy, me dear, we kindreds shall always be plagued by the musings of the jealous and feeble-minded.

Too true, too true! I know I'm jealous (I can't even focus on the object I'm shooting...and if it's a person, their head ends up getting slightly chopped off!), but at least I can appreciate all this beautiful work! :0)

Dearheart, I was not referring to you, I was referring to the wastrells that make nasty, pointless comments that are not even vaguely funny, as opposed to those of us who make pointless comments that range from mildly humorous to absolutely hysterical.

This is an absolutely incredible view of the dessicated guts of an old tanker. I love it!
