Going nowhere. by maggiemae

Going nowhere.

And hasn't gone anywhere for a long time, it looks like! It looks too big to go on a trailer and is a fair way from the sea so it has to have a story!
Sitting in a field of weeds not far from us!
Great shot Maggie. Love the B&W treatment

Love it as well, great bw.

Grounded! But it's a great find for photo ops!! Great capture, Maggiemae and wonderful in b&w!
May 12th, 2012  
Wow! Perhaps someone was going to work on her and something prevented them from starting the task. Great capture, Maggiemae!

Nothing much sadder than a landlocked boat! Nice shot.

Its a miniature scale of noahs ark!! its waiting for the "mini" flood ;)
May 12th, 2012  
Great subject for B&W. I'd love to know it's story! it's a lovely old boat.
May 12th, 2012  
Cool shot--wouldn't you love to know the story ; ) So great that you shot it in b&w. (Do you shoot it in b&w or use an editing program to do that?
May 12th, 2012  
@yonnie I could have shot it in black and white from the camera, but wanted to see it in color to compare! My editing program is so fast, limited, but fast!

@maggiemae Thanks so much. I just wondered what other people did.
May 12th, 2012  
nice b&w presentation
May 12th, 2012  
I think there is one of these in every town. The dream gone to ruin! Put your detective skills to work and I'm sure you will fid out the back story!
May 12th, 2012  
I expect every one has a dream, @kamb to go to sea and sail to new shores or just fish! Not me, done that -both! Too many storms and nightmarish voyages!

@jimboreid @karenann @sheg The colour version was quite good - lots of rust and rotting wood, but the B&W shows the shadows more!
May 12th, 2012  
@maggiemae I love it. we have a boat here in a field thats been here since I was in highschool.
May 12th, 2012  
My very first reaction when I saw this was "The African Queen!" I know it's not exactly the type of boat but the colorization triggered that memory! I Love This Picture!
May 12th, 2012  
but somewhere......nice photo in two colours.......Maggiemaae!!!!!

Nice capture! I like the B & W, but I am curious to see the color version.
May 12th, 2012  
@thendrix58 Very similar, @thendrix58 but that one was a steam boat. Glad you like it!
May 12th, 2012  
Great Capture Maggie. Maybe someone is waiting for a flood and a quick get away.

@nikkic I have no idea of how to find the story except knock on the door of the house next door and I would be too nervous to do that! Make up the storys! I like the one about Noah's ark except for the rain! Humphrey Bogart might like this one too! What about a children's playhouse and overnight camp!
May 12th, 2012  
Great shot - interesting mystery :)
May 12th, 2012  
Ooh boy, I think I know how that boat feels! Cool shot. 8)
May 12th, 2012  
@myautofocuslife Do you feel unloved, bolstered up in case you fall over, and needing a face lift!? I don't think so, Livia!
May 12th, 2012  
Great shot... looks good in B & W - you could just ask in general conversation, say at your corner shop or newsagent...does anyone know the story of ....!!
May 12th, 2012  
Nice capture, Maggiemae. Love it in B&W.
May 12th, 2012  
great lines and shadows!
May 12th, 2012  
Aw come on Maggiemae we need the story! :)
Wonderful image that looks really great in B&W.
(My thought was African Queen too).
May 12th, 2012  
very cool b&w
May 12th, 2012  
Grounded! Maybe it's just a tree shadow but it looks like the shadow of a person looking back at you behind the second cabin! I may be seeing things...
May 12th, 2012  
Wow, what a neat find! It look fabulous in b&w.
May 12th, 2012  
@wannabe I saw that too, but it is just a tree shadow!
May 12th, 2012  
great B&W shot, love the light and textures of the boat. Nicely captured, hope it's not just left to rot!
May 12th, 2012  
Oh this is really cool! Looks great in b&w!
May 13th, 2012  
what an interesting find! and perfect in b&w!
May 13th, 2012  
Wow wonder how it got there, bet it has a tale to tell
May 13th, 2012  
great shot! what is that boat doing in a field?!?!
May 13th, 2012  
Great old boat. Glad you did it in b&w.
May 14th, 2012  
What a great find, so interesting seeing things like this completely removed from their normal context
May 14th, 2012  
Love things like this. Nice processing too. I really like the high contrast
