    Here’s a concrete-hulled cargo steamer built in 1911 now abandoned in the middle of the sea. Thanks for the inspiration, Jez!

    Impressive ! Was it an oil rig? I wonder why it was not torn down.

    You captured a poignant sign of the times Jez and it is good to see them decommissioned. We hope you enjoyed your break and your birthday too! Our contribution for this week’s challenge is here: https://whippetwisdom.com/2023/02/27/tanka-radiant-day/

    Huge! Still, I’d rather have one of these in my line of sight than the old nuclear power plant about 30km up north which is being demantled now.

    It is huge. What a blight on the seascape. I am glad you are back. Hope you are relaxed and refreshed.

      Thanks, BrianIt’ll be good to see less & less of these sat off our coasts!

    Many of these rigs off the coast of California have been decommissioned, and are in process of being removed It will be nice to see the ocean without 11 rigs in the line of sight!

      They really do mar the view. I like to think that a decommissioned rig is a sign of less reliance on fossil fuels
