Is the boat abandoned? A pity, so nice.

I pretty well thought so Daniela. It looked in much worse condition closer up. It made for a fine photo though.

Best wishes, Herb

... abandoned boats: a favorite topic, but poignant and bittersweet ...

... once a lovely vessel in a blue-collar hard-working way; tilted here so details on the deck show (some electronics higher up too) ...

... nice shot Herb, and the omnipresent hillsides there too ...

Hi Wally, so nice to see you again. Yes, these are always great to photograph but always leaves a sad taste too. I didn't try to board here and so have no idea if there were electronics in the bridge. Glad you like it.
Cheers, Herb

Hello Herb it certainly looks a little more weathered than when i took shots of it in 2010

Hi Steve, its quite remarkable how we happy snappers get to the same places! Your shots certainly make this same boat look young and almost healthy. Multiple years and storms later it is starting to show its lack of care. Maybe one of us photographers should give her a lick of new paint! Always good to see you. Cheers, Herb

Hello Herb another ex- Pano friend now on ipernity had this shot also posted on pano .. but sadly not on here yet

Excellent composition Herb, I love pictures of abandoned vessels stuck on the shore, I makes me wonder about their history.

Best wishes, Doug

Wonderful composition.

Yes a cracking shot Herb, but a sad old boat ~
