The boat in the two pictures above is Garðar BA64. It was beached here, near Patreksfjörður, in 1981 during bad weather. Built in Norway in 1912, it is the oldest steel ship in Iceland. It is a rather haunting sight, sitting alone at the end of a fjord in the remote Westfjords. Below is an image from Ísafjörður.

It All Started In Iceland... 
There is something just so paradoxical about a boat out of water that makes it an intriguing sight.
Exactly!
I found that by thrusting my camera into holes in the hull I could get some beautiful shots. They were really haunting. It was like time travel.
Good idea. Wish I’d have thought of that.
I did that with an old fishing vessel in Scotland, it was one of my favorite shots of the whole trip! Really adds a unique dimension to the shot!
