The freighter Mega One Triton was beached on Grand Turk during Hurricane Sandy on 25 October 2012 and remained there in January 2014. The vessel has been the subject of ongoing discussions but, in the meantime, makes a classic wreck image. 200_P1000755C

'Keyboardhead', by Rik van Rijswick, keyboard keys and ceramics. Explorations Cafe, Holland America Eurodam (in port at Grand Turk). This was a very difficult shot to take in terms of reducing reflection on the case. 200_P1000766

I recognise that my pictures of cruise ships can seem very repetitive but I am trying to satisfy two objectives. As previously stated, I hope to photograph every cruise ship in every port it visits. I am also trying to come up with some views which go beyond the formal and predictable, views which both document and please the eye. The Holland America Eurodam was at Grand Turk on the first of four island calls on The Jazz Cruise 2014 which originated in Fort Lauderdale. As our first port of call on this cruise and a very beautiful destination, it excited me quite a bit. 200_P1000724

The conch shell was a little difficult to expose correct;y. The wood grain is wonderful. This is an abstract on Grand Turk. 200_P1000720

This whale sculpture by California based Storyland Studios is at the Grand Turk Cruise Center. I am a little puzzled that references online, mixing plural with singular, refer to two whales although I saw only one. 200_P1000728
