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
Not sure how long this wreck has been in the Holy Loch, but I just noticed it last year. It wasn't until I got my new 70-200mm lens that it was worth taking a shot of it. I had to wait a wee while until the sun breaking through the clouds hit just the right spot on the boat.
A long exposure of this beautiful wreck.

The boat is the Admiral Van Tromp – a trawler from Scarborough. The mystery is how it ended so off course near Whitby.
The vessel actually sank on 30th September 1976. Its Captain Frankie Taal and his crew had set off from Scarborough in the early hours of the morning, their destination the Barnacle Bank fishing grounds 45 North East of the town. Once the Captain set the ships course, he left a senior crewman John Addyson in charge with a cup of coffee and went to bed.
The Captain awoke to find the ship banging into rocks, the location near Black Nab, which is infamous locally for having one of the worst reefs on the Yorkshire coast. The rocks at Black Nab were 90 degrees off the course and the boats course had been set to head out to sea (not North up the coast).
Taal confronted Addyson apparently saying “what the hell are you doing?”, but Taal later said “Addyson seemed to be in shock, staring back vacantly and unable to speak”.
The wreck of the 'MV Dayspring' fishing boat at Corpach, Fort William with Ben Nevis beyond, Highland, Scotland, UK
The Golden Harvest, or the Corpach Wreck, was built in 1975 but ran aground on December 8, 2011 during a heavy storm and has been there ever since. The old fishing vessel, with Ben Nevis in the background, has become one of the most iconic images of the area. We visited there back in February on a cold, still afternoon during a wonderful few days exploring the West Highlands.
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.

Re-worked, seen at Gythion Bay, Greece April 2019
Dimitrios (Greek Δημήτριος) is a Greek shipwreck famous due to its picturesque location on an easily accessible sandy beach near Gythio, Greece.
Dimitrios (previously named Klintholm), a small, 67-metre (220 ft) cargo ship of 965 gross register tons cargo capacity built in Denmark in 1950, was registered in the Prefecture of Piraeus, registration no. 2707. The ship belonged 76.75% to the Molaris Brothers (Greek: Αφοί Μόλαρη) and 23.25% to the Matsinos Brothers (Greek Αφοί Ματσινού). Dimitrios has been stranded on the beach at Valtaki (Greek Βαλτάκι) in today's Evrotas municipality in the prefecture of Laconia, Greece, since 23 December 1981.
There are many rumors about the ship's origins and how it got stranded on the beach. Most relate that the ship was used to smuggle cigarettes between Turkey and Italy. She was seized by the port authorities of Gythio and then deliberately released from the port and left to be dragged by the sea to the beach at Valtaki, about 5 kilometres (2.7 nmi; 3.1 mi) from the port of Gythio. She was then set on fire to hide the evidence of cigarette smuggling. Another, less common rumor speaks of a ghost ship of unknown origins.
However, according to a book written by the Honorary Chief of the Hellenic Coast Guard, Vice Admiral Christos Ntounis (1935–2010), Ta Navagia stis Ellinikes thalasses (translated as The shipwrecks of the Greek seas) there is more to be said about the true history of the ship.
In Ta Navagia stis Ellinikes thalasses (Volume B 1950–2000), Ntounis writes that the ship made an emergency docking at Gythio on 4 December 1980 because her captain needed access to a hospital due to a serious illness. However, after the ship's docking, financial problems arose with the crew, as did various engine problems, coupled with insurance measures imposed by various lenders. The crew was then fired and the task of safeguarding the ship was assigned to Georgios Daniil and Vasilis Parigoris.
The ship was docked at Gythio until June 1981, when she was declared unsafe due to wear on the docking ropes and starboard list due to water entering her hull. The port authorities asked for her to be moved to an anchorage outside the port for safety reasons, but the owners did not respond until November 1981. The book states that "at approximately 12:30 p.m. on the 9th of November 1981 the ship was swept about 2 [nautical?] miles [2.3 miles; 3.7 km] away due to severe weather conditions and it was temporary anchored". But the temporary anchorage did not last for long, as the ship was swept away again and finally stranded at its current location on the beach at Valtaki on 23 December 1981. The ship was then simply abandoned there and no attempts were made to recover her.

Saw the sky developing last night so as I didn't have time to go very far I had to grab the Olympus and run to the nearest place I could think of (won't be long before the old girls gone for good). I put the camera on on arrival only to find the battery icon flashing red, managed to fire off a couple of frames before it died. Just for kicks I tried handheld using the camera 5 axis in body stabilization, which I am amazed by (I've managed to shoot sharp shots at over a second) this was around a 5th of a second I think.
10 minute exposure of an old fishing boat wreck at Portsmouth Harbour.
It’s a tough gig to photograph this wreck. A familiar sight to those leaving Portsmouth on the M27 motorway, it’s only 50 metres from the motorway itself. But access is difficult, either go by boat, park on the motorway (!!), or have a pal that found a way to it, thanks Paul!
The wreck itself is great, but surrounded by junk, no matter what angle one chooses its impossible to isolate the wreck. We chose a high spring tide as that would at least give clear water around it, but to the left is a floating crane that ended up a dark blurry mass in the long exposure, so I have taken the liberty of cloning it out.

An early start to catch the sunrise over the river Medway in Kent. A mixture of industry and widlife make the Riverside Country Park a wonderful place to visit!
I had to see something warm today. So here´s an old holiday shot, taken at one of my morning runs.
Have a nice weekend all!!!!!
These shots were taken at Pin Mill, River Orwell. I went specifically to take Black and White images but loved subtle colours on the old wooden wrecks so decided to process in colour. Will upload a mono in due course.
It was a dank day with spots of rain so tricky with the filters, quite a bit of post processing to do but printed very well on fine art paper.

Conrail SD7 6998 pushes the Allentown Wreck Train to the scene of the crime on the former Lehigh & New England at Georgetown Road, Hecktown, Pennsylvania, USA, 29 September 1981.
The remains of the Steam Trawler Chancellor which ran aground on 17th January 1934 within Whitsand Bay, not the shot I was after due to the light and thick low cloud so I'm gonna have to go back!, also with the ever changing tides and movement of the sand you never know how much you're going to see of the Wrecks remains.

Week No. 36: Long exposure
Category: Technical
I do like a good long exposure, but trying to take them in the middle of the day is challenging. It would have been impossible without a 10 stop ND filter.
This is the wrecked remains of the sea defences on the Norfolk coast at Happisburgh.
Explored on 12/09/22 @ no 344.
Thanks for all the faves and comments.
Go see my Vero page for a few other shots from Happisburgh.
You can also head to my 52 week Instagram to see the alternative shots.
I post most frequently to my main Instagram and Vero so there are more photos there.
THANKS TO THE POWER OF INTROSPECTION
I just love this location for taking pictures. There are lots of wrecked boats
and ships laying on the mud waiting to be eaten by the water and time
