Shipwreck

A scene from one of the many little creeks on the Plock of Kyle. Once a nice seafaring yacht cruiser here but now, well past its time. Maybe the rowing boat still has some life left in it though.

Enjoy the day.

Both boats look as if they've come to the end of their use by dates Herb, but to my mind that just makes them more interesting - photographically speaking of course.

Viewed large, the neglect is obvious. I like the peeling paintwork the tangled ropes and the rusty posts in the foreground and I notice there seem to be more boats in the background.........may be you've found a boat graveyard?

The surrounding landscape looks pretty attractive, with some lovely trees and the yellow of the gorse bushes under a nice blue sky.

A well taken and interesting shot my friend.

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

It was all rather interesting to me at least here. There were quite a few of these boasts in this condition but some others were fine. The surrounding landscape was verdant to say the least. Very happy that you have enjoyed this one.

Best Wishes. Herb

Aye it was Nick and I nearly came a cropper down here myself trying to trip over an old rope.

That's a cracking capture Herb. I have been sailing in the last few years and I was surprised to learn that a lot of people buy boats and then hardly use them. It's like 75% of the marinas in SW Scotland. It's mind boggling!
