This week I have three photos to show, all taken in Donegal Town.
This old anchor, now holding someone's jacket, has been chained down as a reminder of earlier times.
I'm sorry that I won't be available to visit until Sunday at the earliest, but I'll get around you all as soon as I can.For black and white photos from around the world, visit the meme Home Page.

What an interesting old anchor.
Anchors can mean a lot - this was a very historical (and to me )and new one.
Nice little bit of history there.
wonderful shadows in this b&w
These are beautiful. The tonal range is perfect, especially in the center image
I love these images! The subject is powerful and draws you in with curiosity.
I like the angle in the first picture. The anchor looks so huge! In the second photo I love the light and the shadows on the pavement.
That anchor is so huge and clearly so heavy! A great street feature! Love the details in these photos!
Great monos! Wish you a great weekend! Have fun!
Impressive ! Great angle of black & white
Great shot of the anchor ;)
Thanks for hosting, wish you a nice weekend ;)
Awesome... that is one huge memento of the past.
Thanks again for jogging the memories of our visits to Ireland. The County Donegal area is a beautiful part of the country. Your shots of the anchor with the inscriptions and history lesson were so interesting. Please keeps haring your wonderful photos. I enjoy them so much.

Always the best perspective, dear!
Hope all is well! Kisses and love from us for you and Aileni!
It's an old anchor with a very special story. Great photos!
They have indeed chained it down...I can't help thinking, though, that if someone really wanted to steal a massive anchor, a little chain would be no obstacle!
Wow, that was quite a piece of history! The remnants of war still leave most of us in introspection.
This piece in BW made it appear surreal!
Interesting and great images!
Love it! Thanks for your comment!
A great idean to show them in black and white, where emphasis should be.
Det är rogivande verkligen. Härliga foton du lagt upp också.
I like how you've capture this and it's great in monochrome!
An anchor that has great history...
Thanks for your comment :)
Beautiful angle in the first shot!
I love history so loved these photo's!! I was born near Chatham, when it was a Naval dockyard, and my dad was in the royal navy for 22 years- in Chatham they had an enormous anchor as part of a town art display, but it was a modern one so not quite as interesting as this one! Your photo's took me back, though- thanks!!!
Beautiful shots, as always.
Ahhh, the spoils of war... always interesting to read anecdotes about other countries with so much more history than my own Singapore
very interesting images!
deux belles photos avec une preference pour la seconde et son ombre
