Salen Bay. by gamelee

Salen Bay.

Isle of Mull, Scotland.
After the ferry journey from Oban to Mull I was travelling by double decker bus from Craignure to Tobermory. When passing through Salem bay I spotted these three derelict boats by the shore, and thought they would be great subjects for a photo, but I was on a public transport bus and it wasn't going to stop there. Later that day, and travelling back to Craignure I decided to try and get a shot of the boats from the bus, so sat on the top deck I had my camera ready, I had a polerising filter on the lens to reduce the reflection from the bus window. At the point where the boats were the bus by chance had to slow down, and I was lucky enough to get several shots.
Must be a sea inlet here and the boats all crashed into the rocks and were allowed to stay there! Lucky you were on a return journey!

Very resourceful Lee...this is the one that floats my boat even if these boats won't float again.

Great capture! I rode a ferry from Oban to some of the nearby islands last year when I visited. I have lovely memories from that trip.
