Walking along Chesterman Beach (on our trip a month ago), we were intrigued by something in the distance, hulking half-buried in the sand and washed over by the waves.
Horrified to see that it’s a rusted frame of an automobile… how did it get there?
Yet morbidly fascinated by the interesting rusted shapes of the frame and the almost organic center.
Like a beached skeleton of some sea monster…

Appalling yet beautiful. I particularly like your photo which shows the sea still on one side and spumy on the other.
That’s so bizarre, and amazing!
The first photograph looks like a great candidate for qarrtsiluni’s upcoming theme. It’s so beautiful.
That says it well, M-L.
Dramatic photographs. They says a lot about the fragility of the techology that we depend on, and the pathos that ensues when it founders.
Very cool. I would’ve been ecstatic with such a find – as you say, the analogy with beached whales is irresistible.
Thanks, everyone! It WAS a thrilling find.
And yes, Erika, it would have been good for qarrtsiluni but I forgot and it’s too late now, for they prefer stuff not already posted on blogs.
We sometimes make an exception for images, Marja-Leena…
What great photos! I especially like the top one. What a find.
Really, Beth? Then I may just try submitting this. Thanks for your appreciation.
Fascinating!
