Abandoned Ship - Fort William

Fort William, Scotland

After a lunch of Fish and Chips at a Dockside Restaurant in Fort William, we walked down the beach to photograph this "decorated" abandoned ship. We had to work quickly since it was pouring down rain. Rain was not an uncommon occurrence during our trip but that was OK. It added mood to many of the places we visited. We also experienced snow, sleet, hail and wind so it was adventure. We had plenty of bad weather clothing with us and protective covers for our cameras so it did not prove to be a big issue.

There's something nostalgic about sea wrecked ships- also, the imagination prompted to replay stories that might have caused the abandonment.

yes, northern weather can present a challenge...an intriguing scene, with the added touch from graffiti scribblers..
