I saw this and thought, once it was someones pride and joy,
now left to rot. Time marches on and waits for no man nor beast.
Driving in the northwest we picked up a young man from France who was hitch-hiking. He wanted to go to the port in the distance to catch a boat to Brjánslækur ferry. It was a bit off our route but very scenic so we took him all the way to the ferry which was close to the red lighthouse on the far hill. While there I noticed a boat trip to see puffins so we added that too!
Have a good Wednesday.
On Saltwick Bay near Whitby lies a wreck. Many people stand and stare at this. Many a tourist will ask the name of the stricken vessel? Thats easy-its a wrecked trawler named the Admiral Von Tromp which foundered In October 1976. The curious will then ask how it got wrecked-thats more difficult to answer-it is still a mystery which will never be fully solved. The one man who could have solved the riddle died in the water that day

Finally, and after many appeals to prevent it, Welbeck Street car park is being demolished. This is a Brutalist structure much loved by photographers. I have converted one of my photos of the car park into a ball, using Photoshop, to represent its destruction.

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.
No treats available at the dairyland house near Monroe,WI. Unless you're a weird like me, and like photographing this sort of thing! LOL.

Blakeney was a commercial seaport until the early 20th century. Now the harbour is silted up, and only small boats can make their way out past Blakeney Point to the sea. The harbour and surrounding marshes are owned by the National Trust and is a nature reserve where seals can be seen basking on the sand. (from wikipedia)

Bit like me on a Sunday morning...taken on my trip to the boat graveyard...these old wrecks have such a history and has quite a melancholy feel as these boats reach the end of their lives...

Disappeared Friday 30th October 1942. -Took off from Fornebu, Oslo headed to Værnes - Banak. -The pilot died under the emergency landing. -4 people made it to the Flyen-cabin. -The aircraft wreck was found on the 3rd of November and one injured German was found inside the wreck. -The crash was probably caused by icing and poor visibility. -The Christ-Cross, was found in a box with the abbreviation INRI, meaning: Jesus Nazareus King Rex Judaorum, which again means Jesus from Nazareth, King of the Jews.
Trawler MV Dayspring (built 1975) was beached in 2011 after breaking loose from its mooring during a storm. The wreck lies below the high tide line on a shingle beach on Loch Eil where it joins with Loch Linnhe. Ben Nevis, with its peak obscured by clouds, lies in the background. Scottish Highlands.

Solheimasandur plane wreck in 1973 at south Iceland.
The Douglas R4D-8 US Navy transport plane had delivered supplies at Hofn Hornafjördur Airport for the radar-station in Stokksnes, Iceland. En route the airplane encountered severe icing. The crew were not able to maintain altitude. A forced landing was carried out on an ice covered river on near coast of Iceland. The ice broke but the airplane did not sink.
The remains of the plane were abandoned and the main fuselage as still there since 1973.
