I collect photos that I feel are interesting.

Here are some that I would like to share with you.

The first three photos are from the Pittsburgh flood, and its aftermath of Hurricane Ivan in Late Sept. '04.
This is heart breaking. All these boats eventually ended up splintered on the Ohio River Locks and spillways.

Still tied to dock, trapped against bridge on Allegheny River:
No one on board, still tied to dock, floating down river toward Ohio River:
Here's an entire marina, all boats still tied up, drifting down the Allegheny River:

Here's a great photo of a wicket dam, the dam extends under water from the lock on the right, across the river to the bank on the left where you see the concrete dock like structure. The wicket dam "folds" down and allows the river to flow free during high or flood conditions, and allows boat traffic to just pass over the wicket dam. On controlled conditions the wicket dam is raised by hydraulics and the boats use the lock on the right.

This is a Nordhavn 40, it was sunk in the Northwest in 2004, note the rope still fouled to the propeller.
Oh the joy of a single engine boat.

Here's "Beer Chaser" yes, the side of the Catapiller engine block is blown away.

And heres part of the crank shaft and rod.

This Gator was found when doing a runway expansion @ the Orlando Fl airport.

These rattlesnakes were also found when doing a runway expansion @ the Orlando Fl airport.

My all time favorite cluster "F", OSHA where are you?

Words escape me
