Founded by legendary Norwegian Captain Anton Larse in 1904, Grytviken was the first whaling station in Antarctica waters. There is a trail around the station leading to its three key sites; the manager’s house, the church and the graveyard. Winding your way around the snoring elephant seals and errant king penguins, it is possible to pay your respects to Sir Ernest Shackleton and others at the graveyard and visit the Whaler’s Church.
The big tanks in the background were used to boil whale’s parts, to obtain oil.
Walking around this place is a potential hazard, but fun when you start discovering forgotten things, such as this small whaler.

PS was cropping and curve adjustment + framing.

Comments and critiques are very welcome.

Fundada pelo legendário captão noroegues Anton Larse em 1904, Grytviken foi a primeira estação baleeira em águas Antarticas. Existe uma trilha em volta da estação que liga os 3 princiapis locais: a casa do comandante, a igreja e o cemitério. Passando por elefantes marinhos roncando e alguns pinguins reais, é possivel visitar o túmulo de Sir Ernest Shackleton e outros menos ilustres no cemitério e também a igrejinha dos baleeiros.
Os grandes tanques no fundo eram usados para extrair óleo das partes das baleias. Andando por este lugar é possivel encontrar várias coisas, deste pedaços de correntes, até banheiras, panelas e barcos, como esta pequena baleeira.

PS foi corte, ajuste de curva e moldura. Claro que redução de tamanho e sharppen para postar aqui no TL.
Abraço a todos e aguardo as críticas.

Interesting to see the remnets of the past. The metal sheeting of the whale boat is really in disrepair. Well captured and composed - like the rich colors of the tanks.

Thanks for the recent visit.

Eu gosto da tua fotografia
eu gosto do visual deste barco sendo deteriorado
pela ferrugem e ação do tempo.
Os tanques ao fundo tambem dão um belo visual de
deterioração.
Belo tiro, grande compo!
Parabens.

Sergio

Interesting PP work Wellington which has emphasized the colours nicely. Well composed and fine detail,
David

Essa é a viagem que eu sonho fazer.
Olhando tua galeria, Wellington, os lugares que você já foi (alguns já conheci também) dá vontade de sentar e pedir pra você contar histórias.

Exceto pelas imagens com HPP, todas são aptas para o TE e me pergunto porque postar aqui. Bom, talvez você esteja certo: este site é mais "intimista" e há uma infinita liberdade para experimentar.

Tenho um quezinho por fotos industriais, e as cores logo me chamaram a atenção. Surpreendente, considerando-se o lugar...

When I see these old abandoned vessels, houses, etc., I can't help but wonder what souls inhabited them. I used to refinished old clocks and furniture and it was fun bringing them back to life, so to speak.

Interesting shot and photos in general. Nice range of subjects.
