Some people are inspired by the remains of a once beautiful ship slowly decaying on a remote beach, for others however, it's just an eyesore a heap of rust spoiling its natural surroundings. Dutch photographer Anton Rijsdijk obviously belongs to the first category.
His interest in shipwrecks started when he was living in Aden,Yemen, close to a port with a large number of abandoned ships.That was in 1984. Today, three decades later, he is still hunting shipwrecks all over the world because of their interesting history and their inherent beauty ? uniquely crafted by elements of nature.
Most especially, his passion for adventurous travelling in search of wrecks keeps him going. Often the trip to a wreck site is as interesting as the wreck itself, according to the Dutch photographer.
