 I was looking for interesting places close to my home and saw an image the these old whaling boats that have been stranded to the old whaling station in Hvalfjörður Iceland. The boats cannot be seen from the road so I didn't really know where they were but not really hard to find and a short walk from where I parked the car. Beautiful colors around the ship and turquoise in the sea. I was going to wait for sunset but I was late and cloudy.

Hopefully the whaling won't start again in here Iceland. Those boats won't be used again I think.
