Even an abandoned, rusty boat can look beautiful sometimes

I've walked past these boats so many times! The canal walk in Hebden Bridge is lovely. 

Thank you  

That is a fine photograph Debbie. I am captivated by the array of blues and greens. The striped effect on the boat contrasts, yet sits perfectly, with the green algae on the jetty.  The green/blue water, trees and sky provide a wonderful backdrop. Thank you for posting.

Thanks Debbie.  It is appreciated when people find the time to show some positivity rather than continually come to one thread with continual criticism for their own reasons!

Rusty old hulks really add to the beauty of a seascape. Sure, they might not be a natural addition, but they add a storied mystique. Like how little cottages and cabins can add to a woodland.  

I thought of you today O&U as I was eating my breakfast with this boat in view:

It doesn't need to be functional to have beauty.

What a fine sea veteran, its seen better days though, the countryside in the background looks good! 

This is so interesting!  Thank you so much for sharing about this.  It's fascinating to hear about it, and to see the photos!

Love the fact that you see the beauty in this boat.  Thank you so much for sharing the pictures! It is indeed beautiful!

Thanks for sharing, it’s an interesting place

It's  not just the boats,  it's a full community of boats and the land beside the canal forming an eco system with garden sheds, gardens, washing lines, satellite dishes.

This red ship is really beautiful! ️

Thanks for posting these Robert124 

A few more. 

OK, so it's famous, but there are always people living in their bedrooms who don't see the outside world, so here are a few Hebden Bridge canal boats.

I know the place very well….

It does. It's a metaphor. 

Somedays we can all feel like a rusty old boat that may have seen better days even. 

Yet... look closer.  

Famous is Hebden Bridge. 

In Hebden Bridge there is a whole community living on colourful rusty boats on their canal, the boats are unseaworthy, they are just parked for years.  Will post images later.
