This was one of the few abandoned submarines along Melbourne's coastline.

  2. It seems weird to just abandon a submarine. It is a cool subject for your photo.
    Take care, have a happy day and a great new week!

    1. Thank you, Eileen. It is often the case around here. Just abandoning in the sea is often what the gov does.

    1. I had to lift the colour off the submarine. Too dark in a distance

    1. You got a curious mind. Sure you would enjoy the area. However, there are a lot of private lands along the coast. Hard to venture around

  5. Creo no es buen ejemplo para los ciudadanos ya que un submarino no es algo que abandone cualquier ciudadano de a pie.

    Saludos.

  6. I'm surprised they leave it there. I know often sunken vessels make good habitat for ocean wildlife. Wonder how long it will take it to rust through and sink?

  8. I had forgotten about that submarine. There are some good colour contrasts in the dying light.

  10. A rusty bucket--- but a marvelous target for your lens!

  11. Strange to let a submarine rust before the coast, but perhaps a new reef for the fish.

  12. Why is a military heap in open view never discussed? who owned it? who sank it? was it war related?

  13. ...being in a submarine is one of several things that don't interest me.
