Just outside Salen on the Isle of Mull, two derelict fishing boats - Pavonia (built in Banff, 1955) and Elsie May (a prawn boat from Oban, late 1960s) - linger on the shoreline, abandoned when restoration plans fell through in the 1970s. A local reportedly acquired them for salvage but later abandoned the idea [TravelGumbo]. These haunting relics have weathered into silent, photogenic sculptures against the backdrop of the Sound of Mull, just a short drive from Craignure en route to Tobermory [TravelGumbo, Wikipedia]. Locals call it a photographer’s right-of-way - magical in the right light, but fading forever under the elements [TravelGumbo].
In my photograph the boats appear almost fused with the land, their shapes half-swallowed by time. The deep, moody colour palette emphasises that slow collapse – a sense that the tide has moved on but they’ve stayed behind. A striking piece if you're into storytelling through scenery.

Thank you so very much the mugs are really lovely and you have kept me informed how my order was doing right up to the delivery, your service is 1st class and I will be doing business with you again.
Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too!
Loved this image of our wedding day and was appropriate for our anniversary too...
Fantastic artwork, great service, from ordering to delivery
Brilliant experience and service, we have the Highland Cow framed print, my other half being a lover of cattle and cows and it looks incredible on our picture wall 🐂 Thanks Again!!
The absolute perfect image, promptly dispatched, swiftly received. Highly delighted customer. Thank you very much indeed Carol.
