Here's my humble entry. I took this while touring the Isle of Mull on an FJR1300 back in 2007. I'd just got off the ferry and a couple of miles up the (single lane) track, I spotted these boats. I had to grab the shot very quickly on a compact camera with cars behind me pipping their horns

I call it "LAST OF THE FISHING"

Excellent! Thanks for the votes - lucky I did say in advance what the next subject was :-)

I must win a prize for photo's from furthest away!

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands.

Is the theme boats or wrecks ? Nice photos BTY.

Tori · « **Reply #7 on:** 16 June 2012, 11:02:50 pm »

I'm off to Orford tomorrow, so I'm hoping I'll have a second pic

Not a particularly good photo, but I'm a pretty rubbish photographer

That's Gibraltar in the background.

Ok, one more from me. The harbour at Orfordness, taken on sunday

Taken at the Southampton Boat Show a few years ago.

Aside from the "Thundercat", the lifeboats on the vessel in the background caught my eye... looks like deployment would be an even more exciting ride than the speedboat.

Just to the left of the lifeboat is a little fast response jet boat, those are fun.

You probably know Two Tree Island which is a stones throw from me. I was thinking of photographing that huge old barge that sits derelict along from the bridge but I've just learned that our idiotic local council broke it up last week because 'it is hazardous' Such a shame.

Tori · « **Reply #16 on:** 20 June 2012, 10:55:44 pm »

I know it yes, Leigh on Sea? Come to Mersea, we have loads of old wrecks! Or you could try PinMill, or Maldon

This is actually a still taken from a vid I shot in Malta. P29 gunboat somewhere in the background there.

I give up trying to get images on this site. I've followed the instructions from admin and it don't work.

Yes, I did get my feet wet!

Thought this hopefully smaller version would be easier to view?

Just heading into dry dock, only 2 1/2 years old at this point. Working in IT might be a bit boring at times but working for a shipping company has some benefits

Handmade boat which works a lot better than most of the ones pictured

Yesterday's sunset over the fishing fleet at Cobo Bay.
