Rack and ruin

Rack and ruin
WWII Nissen hut used as storage at the old harbour of Bakkafjörður, a small fishing village with some 70 inhabitants. A new sheltered harbour was built further inland and the old harbour fell into disrepair.

Eine zum Lagerraum umfunktionierte Nissenhütte aus dem 2. Weltkrieg am alten Hafen von Bakkafjörður, einem kleinen Fischerdorf mit ca. 70 Einwohnern. Seit ein neuer geschützter Hafen weiter innen am Fjord in Betrieb genommen wurde, verfiällt der alte Hafen.

It's all stuff they couldn't be bothered to take to the new harbour...

I'm surprised that the Nissen hut has lasted so long Gudrun. These bits of plastic are going to be a problem for many many years to come. Surely someone should be responsible for them.

Thanks a lot, Amelia! Plastic is a real problem, we saw it on many beaches though part of it may well have come from further abroad. In the gannet colony you could see lots of green fishing nets incorporated into the nests... I'm afraid many people in Iceland don't care much, they just dump their old stuff. You see many farms where all the old cars and machinery just stand and rust .Life outside the bigger towns is hard, so it's usually townies who are more ecologically minded.

As long as your garden shed has a less leaky roof than this one...-)
