WednesdayWalk - A stroll on Glenmore Beach
Today I decided to go to the beach for Wednesdaywalk, but not any place on the beach, specifically where there is still a piece of shipwreck. This wreck is on Glenmore Beach, South Africa.
We have this beach paths that goes through our beautiful sub-tropical vegetation. I always enjoy going down these paths to the beach. This path is more "civilized" as their is some grass planted and it's cut quite wide. Some of the other paths is kept more naturally, preserving our natural forests. The conservationists in our area prefer it that way.
On our way to the wreck we cross this little stream. We have a lot of water in our environment and also underground water. So right through our little village there are streams and some run down to the ocean.
As you can see it was a beautiful sunny blue sky day. We have lots of these days here on the East Coast of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
Then, we could see the wreck in the distance. This wreck is use as a beacon of direction. People will say, meet you at the boiler, or on the beach, to left or the right or of the boiler. All the locals know where the boiler is situated. So I went nearer to get better pictures of this piece of shipwreck.
The 137 ton steam vessel (fishing trawler/cargo ship) Nightingale ran aground on the rocks off Glenmore Beach in 1933 due to fog. Part of the wreck, the boiler and cylinder, can still be seen on the rocks and is accessible at low tide. Survivors were given food and blankets in a building now the Nightingale restaurant at Glenmore Sands resort - some photos and memorabilia still on display. Interested visitors can also still pick up pieces of porcelain or trader beads from past shipwrecks from the beach, particularly after storms and high seas. Some of the pieces of the trawler owned by Irving and Johnson can also be seen at the nearby (veld)school in Glenmore, the anchor, propeller and rudder (quietly rusting) but all still makes good viewing. The wreck itself has been geo-tagged.

So we have a piece of history here on our front porch. On our way back I just enjoyed the beauty of the day and the scenery, oh my dogs enjoying the beach.
A beautiful day on Glenmore Beach.
I love the different colours of the rock formations.
Last but not the least my dogs enjoying the beach. The big dog, Max and my 4 month old puppy, Pippie, exploring the rock pools.
Thank you for enjoying my WednesdayWalk with me and thank you @tattoodjay for the initiative.

They literally have attempeted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
What a lovely stretch of coast, and such an interesting wreck. You can see all the heat exchange tubes/pipes in the boiler which is really cool. And the weather looks fantastic.
I was drawn to the post, as I live in Scotland, and know where Glenmore is, and I'm assuming its named after that part of Scotland. Interestingly, @dannewton made a hive post today from around the Glenmore area in Scotland - its a little different from the South African version !

Hi, thank you for reading my post and your delightful comment. Interesting about Glenmore, I did not know that. Our little town is called Munster and there is another Munster in Ireland. My real surname is Scott, so my hubby's family are descendants from Scotland.
Thank you I will check out that post about Glenmore. Thanks for the pizza. 🙂

Your dogs seem really happy to go for a walk and the sea shore looks really awesome. You indeed had a great Wednesday walk.
The dogs just love to go to the beach.
Thank you for commenting we are really lucky to be able to stay here.
That's so cute of them. I'm glad you and your dogs could stay there.
what a beautiful beach and how cool that the shipwreck boiler is still there I can see why it would be handy as a landmark for meeting people it sure stands out
