Falling into Decay

Salen Bay, Isle of Mull

Even in this sad state these old boats are still beautiful to me. I therefore have added the link

Lovely capture, I guess these formed a part of the islands working life years ago but it sure is to late for restoration now.

Yes it is sad to see particularly if they were abandoned because of a decline in the fishing industry here. I can still see the beauty in them though

They are beautiful, Carol. I love how their faded colors blend in with the landscape and how they seem to lean into each other. The abandoned crutches in the foreground play wonderfully into the scene, too.
