Life often seems like a long shipwreck, of which the debris are friendship, glory, and love; the shores of existence are strewn with them.
One from the holiday. I uploaded a shot of this wreck last year, but this time we visited, we went past to view from the other side (and our boat got a lot closer).
The wreck of the 'MV Dayspring' fishing boat at Corpach, Fort William with Ben Nevis beyond, Highland, Scotland, UK
This architecturally significant brick house is well over 100 years old. It has been abandoned for at least 25 years. the passage of time,decay,and neglect has pretty much ended any chance of restoration. A wrecking ball is probably the next option,clearing fertile land for farming in this northern Illinois location. But if recent history gives any indication,it will probably decay away for another 25 years...
I haven't posted here for a while so this is a shot I took a month or so ago down at Longniddry.
This is a well photographed spot but the wreck is really falling apart with about 30% missing since I last looked a few years back.

This photo doesnt do it any justice but the sky, just before and just after sunset, was spectacularly awesome.
An abandoned old boat wreck lies stranded and half buried in ever encroaching sand. The shipwreck is on a tidal beach at Crow Point, North Devon, SW England, UK. The poignant weathered wood with its patches of brightly coloured flaking paintwork on its broken skeletal remains hint at its former days of glor
It is a fair walk to this wreck and I've wanted to do it ever since I saw the first photo of it when I joined flickr. You could say it was on my bucket list well at last I've managed it it may have taken twice as long as for a more able person I'm just glad to have done it!

This shipwreck has become known as the Corpach Wreck, however, her real name is MV Dayspring. Built in 1975, she was an old fishing vessel that was moored at Kinlochleven Pier in 2001. Unfortunately in 2011, a heavy storm caused a chain to fail and she ran aground and has been there ever since.
The Telamon sank on 31st of October 1981 off the coast of Lanzarote, about a mile northeast of the port of Arrecife.

STS will be back shortly, but here's a few notes on the image...
In recent years this wreck has become a photographer’s hotspot along with the Glenfinnan Viaduct of Harry Potter fame.
It's true name is the "MV Dayspring", a fishing boat built in 1975 to catch herring and mackerel. It's life as a fishing vessel came to an end in 2000 and was moored in the Fort William area. However, the boat was caught in a storm in December 2011 which ripped it from its moorings where it ran aground at Corpach.
Since then, the Dayspring MV has been quietly waiting where the storm brought it. Not so quietly... in 2017, a large rescue operation was launched because a boat had just triggered its distress beacon. It was actually the wreck’s buoy. It was perhaps MV Dayspring’s trick not to be forgotten. The banks of the loch have now calmed down. But the old fishing boat is still waiting for someone to look at it and to reinvent a future for it.
