Taken back in July of 1991, here's the dragger "Commodore IV", retired after several decades of fishing and scalloping. She appears to have been deliberately scuttled and left in place as part of a breakwater. The structure off the bow is one of several extending to the left (south, then east), offering some protection for the south-facing structures along the shore. A newer stone breakwater has replaced this improvised version, part of a two section affair that almost completely surrounds the wharf area and associated buildings.
Driving out to Cape Forchu on the Yarmouth Bar Road (Rt 304), about a half mile past the "Lost to the Sea Memorial" the road crosses a small steel bridge that spans a channel connecting Yarmouth Harbor (south), to the bay (north). I parked near the bridge and grabbed a few photos of Commodore IV, plus another derelict dragger fifty yards east of the bridge. This second boat was in worst shape than its companion, no name being visible anywhere.
Commodore IV was built at the A. F. Theriault & Son boatyard in Meteghan River in 1963, with a gross weight of 176 tons, and according to a marine industry information website... was listed in 1992 as being "out of service" (no longer operating?). Most folks looking at this photo would agree that at the time I shot this image, she was most definitely "out of service" a year earlier than listed.
This image is a copy of an Ektachrome 100 transparency shot with a Pentax 6x7. It was made using a Nikon D3500 camera, a 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens, with a Nikon 4T close-up lens, and a Sigma 1.6x close-up lens mounted on the 4T.

Eglwys y Grog (Holy Cross Church), Mwnt, Ceredigion
Mwnt is a beautiful secluded cove on the Ceredigion coast, just north of Cardigan. Above a sandy beach that has been rated amongst the finest in Europe is a picturesque whitewashed church dedicated to the Holy Cross.
Though the present church building dates to the 14th century, there has been a church in this spot since the Age of the Saints (roughly 410-700 AD). The dedication to Holy Cross is probably a reference to a tradition that a tall stone cross once stood atop Foel y Mwnt, the conical hill that rises directly behind the church. The cross would have been used as a focal point for preaching the Christian message.
The cross would also have been visible for many miles, attracting pilgrims who drew their boats up on the sandy beach at the base of the cliffs.
Mwnt gained such a reputation amongst early Christians that it became a stopping place for the bodies of saints being transported to Bardsey Island for burial. Mwnt's location also made it a convenient resting place for pilgrims en route to St David's, further down the coast.
We do not know exactly when the present building was erected; it may have been as early as the 13th century. That's the date of the stone font, made of Preselau stone, that stands at the west end of the nave.
On the north wall is a small lancet window, now blocked, that may have allowed lepers - who were not allowed inside churches - to view the high altar during services.

Lower Slaughter is a village in the English county of Gloucestershire, located in the Cotswold district, 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of the town of Stow-on-the-Wold. The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, which also flows through Upper Slaughter. At the west end of the village there is a 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power. There is a ford where the river widens in the village and several small stone footbridges join the two sides of the community. While the mill is built of red brick most of the 16th and 17th century homes in the village use Cotswold sandstone and are adorned with mullioned windows and often with other embellishments such as projecting gables. Records exist showing that Lower Slaughter has been inhabited for over 1000 years. The Domesday Book entry has the village name as “Sclostre”. It further notes that in 1066 and 1086 that the manor was in the sheriff's hands. Lower Slaughter Manor, a Grade-II listed 17th-century house, was granted to Sir George Whitmore in 1611 and remained in his family until 1964. The 13th century Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin. Much of the current structure was built in 1866; however, the spire and peal of six bells was recently restored. In May 2013 it was reported in the national news that the Parish Council were fiercely opposed to the presence of an icebox tricycle selling ice creams for seven days a week, six months of the year, citing that the trading times were excessive, increased footfall would prevent the grass from growing and that children could climb on the trike and fall into the nearby river.

The Slaughters Country Inn is privately owned and offers a relaxed ambience, a style that is sympathetically balanced between the original features of a 17th Century building and contemporary design. The blend of old and new creates the perfect retreat in a beautiful country location
how vulnerable and still are his movements in the busy city. the drawing of his face is like a map, much smaller than that of the city. he himself is also getting smaller in the disappearance of time.
I definitely have always had a goal to capture unique angles of San Francisco. I feel I am starting to finally narrow in on those. sfbay.photos

East Kent’s famous Guyitt House is no more, following its recent demolition.
Dubbed by some as the most photographed house in Canada, the house was ordered to be torn down by the municipality of Chatham-Kent due to safety concerns.
The house, more than 150 years old, was owned by Pete Anderson.
His grandparents Roy and Ethel Guyitt purchased the once grand old dame located near Muirkirk, in 1908.
KEEL BEACH | IRELAND
After hiking up a nearby hill, we saw the sun setting behind the far hills, so we headed down to the beach to get some good shots.
Those structures were the reward and even as I have quite a lot pictures of them... I now believe, I didn't took enough.
This odd little structure is located in the Landmark Sinkhole. Larger sinkholes like this one have been known to swallow up structures like houses, barns, and buildings.
Hotel Añaza is the abandoned structure of a hotel or apartment block near Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. Construction was started by a German company in 1973, but was abandoned two years later, before the building was finished.

Europe - Italy - Italia - Rome - Roma - St. Angelo Bridge - Ponte Sant'Angelo & Castel Sant'Angelo - Castle of the Holy Angel - Towering cylindrical building in Parco Adriano - Commissioned by Roman Emperor Hadrian as mausoleum for himself & his family - Building used by popes as fortress & castle
Rome and its beautiful sites are featured in the new movie "Angels & Demons". I was in the city at the time of worldwide premier, however due to demanding shooting times (from 4am to 10PM) I had no time to go to see the movie. I have however enjoyed the city itself instead.
Castel Sant'Angelo (on the photo) is the final stop on Langdon's Illuminati trail. A giant fortified structure, Castel Sant'Angelo was first begun by Emperor Hadrian in AD 135 as his mausoleum and has been used subsequently as an armored stronghold, a prison and a papal residence, with a private walled passageway all the way to the Vatican. The Castel Sant'Angelo appeared in Dan Brown's 2000 novel Angels and Demons. The location was the secret lair for the Hassassin and was seen as the last existing church of the Illuminati. The book also emphasized the Passetto di Borgo as a secret way of getting from the Vatican to the castle. The castle appeared in the film Roman Holiday in a scene taking place on barges on the river below. In Puccini's opera, Tosca, the Castel is where Cavaradossi is held prisoner. After murdering Scarpia in his private room at the Palazzo Farnese, Floria Tosca goes to the Castel Sant' Angelo, safe conducts in hand, where her lover, Mario Cavaradossi is to be executed. She has been led to believe it will be a mock execution and is horrified to find her lover dead. Rather than be arrested by Scarpia's henchmen, she throws herself from the rooftop.
