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 met up at some ridiculous hour in the middle of the night to go take photographs this morning with Steve (Stoates-Findhorn) and Iain (Highlandscape). Once we got to the parking spot we were informed by Steve that we had about a kilometre to walk, nothing too strenuous I thought, well you all know what thought did!! We walked for what seemed like ages through all sorts of terrain including mud! Every time we turned a corner of the coast the said Steve would say it should be here, I ask myself what?? I have to say Iain and I came very close to burying him in the mud and finding the nearest cafe, had it not been so early believe me the option would have been seriously considered!
With some regret after all the effort I have to say this is the best of my sunrise shots.........
My image of this wreck which is situated on the shores of Loch Linnhe just outside of Fort William in Scotland, also In the background is a snowy Ben Nevis but it is partly covered by cloud and rain.

I was lucky enough to be asked to go on a little adventure to find this wreck at Logniddry near Berwick. It's quite buried by the sand but you can still see the outline of the boat. The sunset was one of the best I've ever seen and I'm pleased I was able to capture it.
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”.
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.
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.
The wreck of the 'MV Dayspring' fishing boat at Corpach, Fort William with Ben Nevis beyond, Highland, Scotland, UK
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.
Decided to have another go at reworking this image as not getting out much.
I took the original at Bowling Harbour and had to remove all the distractions and replaced the horizon and skies.

Any feedback appreciated on if it looks OK as LE mono shot.

Capt . Cook wrecked the Endeavour on the Great Barrier Reef in 1770 trying to negotiate a passage through the reef but he managed to re-float the vessel and bring it to the mainland for repairs .. sadly that wasn't going to be the case here with the Sonda , her exposed hole seen here was not repaired and she has become a total wreck .

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

The wreck of Garðar BA 64. This ship was built in 1912 in Norway and brought to Iceland in 1945. It operated as a whaling and fishing vessel until 1981 when it was purposely sailed up on shore to be displayed in Skápadalur in Patreksfjörður. I'm personally not really a fan of leaving ship or plane wrecks out in nature like this so I didn't stop for a close-up shot, but it has been a popular tourist stop for a long time.
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.

I have seen and photographed many old boat wrecks along the shores of Ireland. They all have a lot of character and I am sure they all have interesting tales to tell.

the wreck of the golden harvest sitting on the edge of loch linnhe with fort william and ben nevis in the background and passing rain on our way to the isle of skye at the begining of february
You really need to view this shot Large On Black to make head or tail of it.
This is a wreck that I have been wanting to shoot for ages. A few of us decided to camp out on Stockton Beach on Saturday night in the hope we would get a nice sunrise or moon lit evening. Unfortunately we got neither.
Never the less, here's one of my shots from dusk. This is a 2min exposure (taken with my stonking big bad old 10-stopper ND filter). I wanted to really abstract everything except for the wreck itself.
