Pictures for the end of the oil age

Post your pictures for the end of an age.

Here's mine:

I've always thought it a brilliant shot. And a fitting one for the coming end of the oil age. Giant oil tankers rusting majestically along the coast of India. Now empty they are being slowly stripped for parts and scrap. Once they carried the lifeblood for our industry, now discarded. Though they are still of use, as evidenced by the tiny people seen slowly taking them apart. Even far down the entropy stream they are still useful for scavenging. Perhaps we'llbe seeing a lot more of this in coming decades as old parts are scavenged and find new life.
