The cargo ship Dimitrios has been abandoned on Selinitsa beach, near Githio since 1981. It is believed that this ship was used for transporting illegal cigarettes between Turkey and Italy and in an emergency it docked on the port of Gythio as the captain was in need of medical care.

Due to various financial problems, the ship was left adrift at the same spot of the port and in 1981 was declared unsafe. Following severe weather conditions, the ship was swept away to its current position.

When I came upon the scene, the sky was saturated with red sand from the Sahara, the sun struggled to shine through and there was an eerie feeling in the air.

Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)

   

I read that this building was planned to one day be Point Roberts, Washington's only mall....but, due to the failing economy, this building lies in a state of decay.

This is a personal gallery. If you recognize yourself in a picture of this gallery and if you don’t want it to be published, let me know and the picture will be removed.

Please note that the original photo was taken by my daughter, Kristina Breton. The photo is of a sweet little kitten that they found abandoned on a road and brought into their home to include with their forever furry family and named Pontouf.

 

Happy Caturday my Flickr friends

 

Please remember that our sweet little kittens are to looked after forever and should not be abandoned any more than our children should be. All our wonderful animals are an important part of our world and should be loved and respected accordingly.

 

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

My neighbor found this little boy kitten abandoned on his doorstep on Wednesday. At about a week old, I've agreed to syringe/bottle feed him until he is weaned, when the neighbor will take him back. Quite time consuming because of feeding frequency. 😊

Old delivery truck, rusted and abandoned on the side of the road.

This old fishing vessel sit's abandoned on the coastal waters. Once a Fishermans pride, now it is being consumed by time. The pacific coast of the U.S. has a plethora of historic boats. Some small and some large. Most meet their final fate.

I've been painting every day in hope of mastering hands

I was happy with this as her hands seem to be ok, and I got her nose to look like a nose lol

 

Hope you're all having a good one

 

I might hit an abandoned on my way back today, fingers crossed

The water tower in the middle of the chapel bridge is part of the historic city fortification of Lucerne and is considered a landmark of the city.

 

The 35-metre-high octagonal and slightly leaning tower complements the city fortification towards the lake. Its construction time cannot be determined with certainty, but certainly after 1262, so even before the chapel bridge built. It has long served as a defensive and watchtower, as well as a cornerstone of the city's fortification. Over the years, he was a city archive, treasury, dungeon and torture chamber.

 

It is mentioned for the first time in 1367. The existing roof chair dates back to 1339. Since 1939 the tower has been rented to the Lucerne Artillery Association. The tower is rarely open to the public, usually only in summer.

 

On the lower floor of the tower is a dungeon. Its walls are three meters thick, there are neither windows nor doors. Access is only possible via an opening in the floor of the room above. The dungeon was probably used as a prison until 1759 and then abandoned. On the first floor is the so-called treasury. It served as a prison and as an interrogation and torture chamber until 1759. From 1759 to 1798 the state treasure was kept here, from 1798 to 1803 the room served again as a prison and from 1804 to keep the securities of the community. The second upper floor was until 1759 the place of storage of the Lucerne State Treasury and the State Archives.

 

When it was discovered in 1758 that money had been stolen for years, it was converted into a prison (until 1802). From 1804 to 1919 he again housed the municipal archive. The striking stork nest on the top of the tower has not been used for over 100 years. The 15-metre-high attic served as an interrogation and torture chamber. Since 1892 alpine sailors have been breeding here in a colony, which is supervised by the Ornithological Society of the City of Lucerne (OGL), since 1959 on behalf of the City Council of Lucerne. The Alpine sailing colony in the water tower is the largest Alpine swift "Tachymarptis melba" colony in central Switzerland.

Fredriksholm Fortress was located one kilometer north of the precursor, Christiansø Fortress on Gammeløya. Both fortresses were built to protect Flekkerøy port. The construction of Frederiksholm Fortress was begun in 1655. After the fort Christiansø was abandoned on 1 May 1658, the stones, building materials and other useful material were transferred to Fredriksholm. The new fortress was completed in 1662. It is named after Frederick III of Denmark.

 

The fortress was divided into a lower and an upper part. The lower part was a wall that followed the shoreline. The upper part had a tower with a cupola and 2 artillery batteryes. The tower was the residence of the commander, and this was also the royal chambers. Otherwise, there were a number of large and small houses in the Fort area. Fortress walls were of stone, covered outside with turf and palisadeverk.

The peat was taken from a cemetery wall in such large quantities that the coffins were almost uncovered. Within the wall there was a gallery. When the fortress was completed, consisted the luminaire of 14 cannons on the lower part and 10 guns on the upper.

 

The fortress was originally armed with 24 guns from 2-to 34 pounds. In 1700 the fortress was at its largest, armed with 50 cannons. Garrison was in 1658 on the 24 man. The strength of the fortress, however, varied depending on the threat of war and the season. It could be up to 110 men at the castle during the summer, while there were around 30 in winter. Fredriksholm was timed to be able to accommodate 300 men.

 

On the mainland in the north was in 1808–1809 built a defense battery which had the task to cover the land by Fredriksholm.

The area known as Batteriodden. Batteriodden was staffed with 96 infantry and 48 artillerymen. The battery was abandoned around 1850.

 

On 18 September 1807 during the Napoleonic Wars (see also the Gunboat War) the British Third-rate ship HMS Spencer along with two other ships arrived in Kristiansand.

The ships returned after it being fired on by Christiansholm.

The ship commander decided to adopt the abandoned fortress Fredriksholm in the fjord, and sprinkle it in the air.

The blast cost four Englishmen their lives because the explosion was long in coming. Four men were therefore ordered ashore to see if the fuses had gone out. They had not.

The fortress was partially set in order again in 1808 and then in 1874 to be closed down for good.

This one room schoolhouse sits abandoned on the Canadian prairie in Saskatchewan. I looked inside and saw that the chalkboards were still on the walls and a few desks were scattered about, waiting in vain for the return of happy children.

The first moai abandoned on the trail, before the fork, the MANAS (energy) was considered to have disappeared if the moai fell and broke.

 

As the volcano was the quarry of the moai both inside and outside its walls, but inside the walls of the crater, visitors cannot get close to the moai. Outside, visitors come close to the moais and are those iconic moai photos.

 

On the right is the moais trail and on the left the lagoon crater.

I chose on the left, as always.

Old fishing boat, abandoned on Dungeness beach

Back in 1888, they used rails and trolleys to move stone to create a break wall. Some of the rails and wheels remain today. They lie abandoned on the beach and rocks.

My twin brother found this cat abandoned on the streets and adopted her. That happened in 2012. For different reasons he couldn't take care of her anymore, so we adopted her.

 

Although it’s quite rare, a condition called heterochromia can result in cats having two different coloured eyes. These odd-eyed cats typically have one iris (the coloured part of the eye) that’s blue while the other is either green, brown or yellow. Heterochromia can also affect dogs and even humans too.

 

Luckily, heterochromia doesn’t have any impact on a cat’s ability to see, and it doesn’t seem to affect their hearing either.

Flip flops abandoned on the beach.

Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast en route to the Columbia River. She was abandoned on Clatsop Spit near Fort Stevens in Warrenton about four miles south of the Columbia River channel.

Abandoned on old Route 66, New Mexico

Near Dayton, Nevada

Yet another recreational vessel is abandoned on the mainland beach side on Coochiemudlo Island, just off Victoria Point in Redlands, South East Queensland. This beach seems to attract wrecks, it must cost authorities heaps to remove them as the owners seem to walk or perhaps sail away.

 

This one seems to be called Egret and some lark has added an "R" to the name which seems to sum the situation up rather succinctly.

Perhaps this is the "Colt from old Regret"* and she has got away.

A return visit on May Day to see if this Yacht is still with us. I took some shots of it over 2 years ago when it lay abandoned on this bank of the River Condor on the Lune Estuary.

 

Sadly it is still there and it is covered in silt and mud. I don't know its story, but it looks to be a fine vessel, so why it is being left to rot here, I know not!

 

Anyway, the sunset was rather harsh and I did have some difficulty balancing the light and I had inadvertently left VR on the lens, but thought it was worth a post!
