Cows have long known, way before the science, that mixing seaweed in your grass diet reduces flatulance!
Mallaig. I always found boatyards and shipyards fascinating but it was a lucky friend of a friend connection that gave me my first job (apart from on the family farm) building ferro cement fishing boats at a small harbour side yard in Scrabster, In many ways it looked quite like this one in Mallaig, just two or three boats on the slips, you can see a couple of guys working on the boat side.. I worked with one of the owner's sons, Anthony, and together we worked through the summer, loving and hating it. We loved our first pay packets, and swinging from the scaffolding like monkeys, but hated holding the steel rods in place whilst the boss used a welding torch to tack them down, but with molten metal sparks flying across or dripping on to us from above, burning through our clothes or through the mop of long hair each of us had on top of our heads in those days. We moaned and whinged as the welding went on longer than we could bear, as the stench of burning flesh and hair filled the air where smoke rose from our bodies. I wasn't very Matt Hancock or Boris in those days, my hands more practical and more likely full of metal ties and pliers than fleshy buttocks and party affairs. Strange how many have suggested over the years I should go into politics (although I'm sure not for flattering reasons) but who knows what might have happened when I got to attend my first conference? Anyway I digress........ always easily distracted; this is not about me. TN102. "Dawn Maid" registered in Troon.
Scenic reflection of a wooden boat on loch Lomond Balmaha
Balmaha Boatyard has been established since the 1870's and is still same family owned and run today. They offer you the chance to hop aboard the famous Loch Lomond Mail Boat, or take on demand ferry service to the magical island of Inchcailloch, or take a cruise on the Loch, They also have moorings, berths, winter storage and launching facilities.
While in the boatyard in Faversham we came across an old coach.I ventured into light room for this post processing activity. I wanted to give it a grunge for you but didn't know how to do that. In the end used a graduated filter.
Recipe for a happy morning:
Take a clear day
Add some still water
Beat well with a bicycle, and
Toss in a wide-angle lens ...
Job done!

two views of an unusual visitor to the private boatyard on an old arm of the weaver next to acton swing bridge
other than the word london and what looks like a painted out name it carries no identification and appears to have a deck mounted hydraulic crane
this vessel is quite a change from the usual collection of river cruisers and narrowboats that frequent this small yard As the yard is surrounded by palisade fences and locked gates , I have been unable to get any closer or ask the gentlemen seen in the pictures
does anyone on flickr know what it might be ?
A decrepit yet beautiful hunk of torn rusty metal near the Astoria boatyard. I want to shoot this at night.
Update: Yacht built in Chile about 10 years ago. Was in water part of the time but insides do not go according to plans. Settled at Delta Marine for a few years and now at Dakota Creek Industries awaiting transport lift to a barge. It has indeed been bought by a Greek and will ship from here to Greece via barge soon. No work will be done on her by DCI. This yacht is about 200'; her name and original owner undetermined.
Gold Wonder (named such by me) seen today has an interesting tale. Take it with a grain of salt and I will try to get facts later. I am allowed very limited photographic access via the guard gate at Dakota Creek Industries.
Story is said to be that this was American made for a South African buyer. Builder said to be sketchy and thus boat does not meet standards for sea travel. Then, it was to be scrapped but is now to have a Greek buyer and is to ship there and undergo some hull reconstruction. It was transferred from Delta Marine to Dakota Creek Industries for appropriate transport.
