The Creaking Carcasses at Camaret-sur-Mer

It has been several months since we were in Camaret-sur-Mer, but we had relatively good weather for our trip to the far end of the Finistere in Western Brittany, France. Once a major fishing hub, the seaside town is best known now for the ‘Graveyard of Ships’ that lies directly across from the pretty harbour with its string of cafes and shops.

Nothing like rusting hulls and crackling paint to make eccentric but interesting photos. Enjoy!

And just to finish it off nicely — a black and white of one particularly interesting clump of old ships, crumbling into oblivion at the seaside.

Photo Of The Day: HMS Warrior in Portsmouth, England

Today’s photo is from a brief overnight stop in Portsmouth, England a few months ago as we were headed back to France on the ferry.

The ship is the HMS Warrior lying at low tide on an overcast and soggy day.
