I took this photo of a black tipped reef shark from the pier at Bandos Resort, Maldives.
 
Reminds me of how I got a lifetime supply of 9mm brass. Years ago when they decided to arm our Canadian Border Services officers, they booked a couple of three-day blocks at my local range for training. I went up late one afternoon after they had left and there were buckets and buckets full of empty brass. I didn't even have a 9mm at the time but I figured it was too good an opportunity to pass up :)
25 years or so ago I purchased three 55 gallon barrels of brass & these were part of it. I am an 06 lover.
 
Paddlewheel tug abandon near my house, 1973.

The steam engine and steam tractor were owned by an old guy in the adjacent county to where I live. He owned two different engines and 2 steam tractors and had track running around his property. He would fire one of his engine up and take kids on his road around for a ride.

This was around 1975 and unfortunately he was in bad health with emphysema and passed sway shortly after I made these photos.

I learned recently his family sold them off and were restored and are in use today pulling tourists.

The last images is from the early 70’s and dates to the 30’s. I remember when it was an operating gas station but has been abandon for 60 years and is now just a pile of rocks. I be live about 10 minutes from it and documented it’s decay over several decades.
