The family in this photo are standing on the wreck of the SS Kwinana , which in 1922 ran aground on a beach in Western Australia, south of Perth. The area then became known as Kwinana. Since 1922 the population has grown to over 32,000 inhabitants, and Kwinana officially became a city In 2012. Rockingham, which borders Kwinana, was also named after a ship wreck. In 1830 the ship Rockingham was abandoned after being blown ashore. Today, Rockingham has grown to become a city too. This picture was made with a 24mm wide-angle lens in order to include a lot of sky. Split-toning has been added in Photoshop to add a bit of tone in both the highlights and shadows (yellow in the highlights and purple in the shadows).
