The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - a photo on Flickriver

"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is a 1976 hit song written, composed and performed by Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot to commemorate the sinking of the bulk carrier SS Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975. Lightfoot drew his inspiration from Newsweek's article on the event, "The Cruellest Month", which it published in its November 24, 1975, issue. Lightfoot considers this song to be his finest work.

Now this young man isn't Gordon Lightfoot; he did manage a decent rendition by a street light in Queenstown, New Zealand.

Considering how low the light was and my Nikon pushed the ISO up to 25,600 I quite like this shot.

And if you fancy listening to the Gordon Lightfood version here is a link:
