I saw a 140 year old wooden gig that was still being used regularly, I wonder what makes a boat beyond repair.

Good question, Gilly. These were just barely afloat.

Yes, poignant is the right word for this photo. Poor old boats. You’ve captured the end of their days perfectly and the photo is more tones of grey than literally black and white, which also works perfectly for the topic.

Thanks Elizabeth … had a tough time not climbing aboard to see what I could see from the inside out.

I agree… the choice of b&w is perfect, sombre and quietening. Guessing that ‘going for scrap’ means recycled? There’s a lot of money to be made in scrap metal I think. Oh, if they could talk, eh? The stories…

They looked so forlorn. So right, Carin … the stories they could tell of travels on the Great Lakes.

This is perfect in black and white — and of course “perfectly poignant” too, as Ms. AH says. But I also wonder what’s next. Do they get sunk? Do they become “reefs” for ocean life to explore? Or does the scrap metal somehow get de-rusted and re-used? Very though provoking shot.

They go for scrap, Barbara. Took the shot on a boat tour up the Lynne River, Port Dover, On

Hi Che! I’ve been thinking of you so much. Miss you and wish we lived closer. But we’ll make up for lost time when we meet up again. This week I’m really chasing my tail with a deadline, an interview to prepare for, and physio tomorrow in Markham, but I’m doing great. Every week a little bit stronger, and a blessed poetry Sanctuary this Saturday. Love those days. Hope that you continue to heal well and that your body is readjusting after surgery. I was especially thinking of you this morning when I noted in my book that Wagamese’s new book on meditations is now available. Also want to get Mary Oliver’s new book, Upstream, focused on essays. Wish I was a faster reader because my pile of unread books is on tilt! Take good care of yourself, Diana.

Fingers crossed I’ll be in Toronto within the next couple of weeks. Enjoy Sanctuary!

There’s a poignancy to this photograph, Cheryl. An end of an era, a season, a useful life perhaps – rendered beautifully in black and white.

Thanks Allison … they were lined up to be destroyed. No honours for these …
