I have been looking for this shipwreck I have seen on various Flickr pages, and with the power of Google maps, I think I have located it. Where the best place to park is I don't know, but here it is...

Useful links
I thought I'd better start using this blog, although I'm sure not many will be looking at it, but eh!
Anyway, this is a few of my favourite links to sites which have helped me, and in most cases, are still helping me. I'll try and be a be descriptive about them as I go:
www.cambridgeincolour.com
This is one of my favorite sites. I see a lot of questions on the forums of people asking questions which require a bit of a techncal answer. The replies are often very 'personal' to the respondee, and as such are often inaccurate. Things that people think they know, such as dpi/ppi and how best to print your pictures down to how lenses work, histograms, focul lengths, the list goes on, are all explained very scientifically and accurately in the tutorials section. A lot of the pages have dynamic explentations, for example you can view a colour picture, and hovering your moue over various lables will show you how the picture will appear if you convert to black and white with different coloured filters - great.
There are also gallery and techniques sections. Haven't spent too much time on those yet.
www.kenrockwell.com
This guy has a LOT of stuff on his site. He has everything from testing various lenses (a lot of his work is Nikon based, but has a fair amount of Canon and others), tutorials, a gallery and so on. What stands out for me on this site is his no nonsense approach. He talks in real terms. If a cheap lens will, in his opinion, do a job better or equally as good as an expensive lens, he will say so. Most people become fixated on getting all the best gear 'cause the magazine rated it best buy, he'll recomend the best gear if he thinks it's worth it. There doesn't seem to be any 'I'll give a good review and by the way, thanks for the free lens' chat on is site, which is nice.
