Tha atmosphere was heavy with sand from Libya and the diffused light had an eery feel; these are the natural colours, no manipulation.
Wreck of a fishing vessel on the shore of Loch Linnie, Scotland, with Ben Nevis hiding behind the low cloud.
Getting closer to the wreck of 'Maria Schroeder' ship, collided with a fossilized coral reef in 1956, which led to its sinking immediately in front of the Nabq mangrove coastline.
The sunken ship, which appears from afar as if it was divided in two, is still at the bottom of the sea, with all the tools used by sailors, and today this ship is considered an important destination for diving enthusiasts.
Most of the ship is still above water with a debris trail located on the starboard side of ship which leads down to a depth of about 24 meters. At the base of the wreck in the surrounding coral there is a wide variety of aquatic life to be seen. The site is also popular for bird-watchers and snorkelers.

99.3 % of Egyptian girls and women have experienced sexual harassment.
“Sexual harassment is a widespread and serious problem in Egypt, as the country ranks second in the world after Afghanistan in terms of this issue. Also, the research “Study on Ways and Methods to Eliminate Sexual Harassment in Egypt” carried out by UN Women in 2013 revealed that over 99.3 % of Egyptian girls and women surveyed reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment in their lifetime. According to the same study 82.6 percent of the total female respondents did not feel safe or secure in the street. The percentage increased to 86.5 percent with regard to safety and security in public transportation. Overwhelmingly, the study revealed that enactment and enforcement of a law addressing sexual harassment is perceived as the first step in addressing the problem. There is a persistent discrimination against and violation of the rights of women and girls, as patriarchy is pervading society.” – (UNFPA) United Nations Fund for Population Activities
One doesn’t need to know much about Islam and its prophet to see why Muslim men would act in such a way.

Ship wreck at Roa Island without a visible name.The Vita Nova Z588 was built in 1967 and was a Belgian Trawler. She later spent some time in Ireland and then was decommissioned and ended up in Millom, Cumbria . She was sold as scrap to a family who converted her to a houseboat and was anchored just off the causeway between Rampside and Roa Island. The family lived on her until the really high tides at the end of 2014/early 2015 washed her ashore.
The remains of wreck of an English collier brig of 18th century date, thought to have been beached at Seaton Carew during a storm. She is a wooden sailing vessel built primarily of oak. The site is protected under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973.
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.
12R recently brought an absolutely wrecked GEVO into Harrisburg before it went to points north via the Buffalo Line.
The 8132 was involved in a collision with another train in Georgia last year.
On 21 November 1973, a Douglas C-117D transport aircraft operated by the United States Navy crashed onto Sólheimasandur beach in southern Iceland during severe icing conditions. All seven crewmembers on board survived the accident, and the aircraft was written off.
Today she is a tourist attraction but has suffered damage from these tourists as well as the elements.
Loch Linnhe Wreck
The old boat on the shores of Loch Linnhe at Corpach near Fort William. A brief few minutes of light as the sun breaks through the clouds. I think probably the only bit of light on our trip north.
Fort William and the Ben Nevis range can be seen behind the wreck.

The ruins of the SS Speke, which was shipwrecked in 1906 on the southern coast of Phillip Island, Victoria.
Taken at low tide mid afternoon I decided on a Black and White approach and added some Split Toning just to add some contrast to the image.
I have just returned from a very nice holiday in Scotland, no doubt my Flickr stream will be bombarded with all my images from my visit.
During a short break on Skye, I would pass this small Lochan every day, and every day I pondered on getting down there and taking a few shots, My ankle was healing from a rather bad break so I was at this point wearing a moon-boot.
I was a struggling to get from the car to the beach, but I made it and was quite happy with the results.
Perhaps no need for repeating the text from the previous image, except perhaps by saying, a wreck like this seems to draw me towards it, and sometimes some of them work better than others.
These old fishing boats have apparently been sitting on this beach near Salen Bay on the Isle of Mull since the 1970s. They are quite a sight and much photographed, so it had to be done.
Happy Monochrome Thursday and 49/100 in monochrome
I had been planning to visit the shipwreck in Wenningstedt-Braderup on the island of Sylt for a long time.
You can read about it:
"In the Wadden Sea between Braderup and Munkmarsch, barely 200 metres from the beach, lies the shipwreck of the once proud three-masted schooner "Mariann".
At low tide, the wooden remains are clearly visible.
Anyone thinking of a shipwreck or even pirates may be disappointed when they learn the true story:
In 1961, the ship was towed into Munkmarsch harbour - by two Sylt residents who wanted to open a floating café on it. However, they were refused the necessary licence, so they anchored the ship a little further north between Munkmarsch and Braderup in the Wadden Sea.
Plan B for the pair: Turn the ship into a cabaret! However, the authorities threw a spanner in the works here too: a pier required for this was not approved.
Due to a lack of alternatives, the ship became an unofficial party ship until a fire broke out on board in 1981. The causes were never clarified."
