The Japanese defense forces couldn't stop Godzilla.....I captured the beast!
Spied this over Route 128 on my way home from work. Dirty windshield and strong sun glare I had to darken the image and crop out the sun. That's the only edit to what's probably my worse quality image. I figured some would get a kick out of it so I posted the pic on facebook. A few shares later it's gone world wide! Who would of thunk it?
Why I created this......
Born and raised in Gloucester, Ma fishing gets in your blood. Surrounded by the sea, kids here have a boat almost as much as kids elsewhere have bicycles! As I grew older my fishing ambitions gave way to what's around me. Although I still "drop a line" every so often, my attention wanders to the majesty of the natural light that make this place so special. Never is each day the same. The subjects may be the same but the light from the sea & sky will morph the subject into a form of art. For that reason artists have been drawn to these shores for several hundred years, they followed the light painting and sketching these surroundings. What artists capture with paint on canvas, I attempt to capture with a click.....if I'm lucky!
Finally I wet the hull,the latest I've ever launched her. And I learned a lesson....Don't wait for the maple buds to open! Yesterday I cleaned her again and those damn buds made a mess again overnight! Anyhow she floated off the trailer with ease and she ran great. I was surprised how little smoke from last years gas there was. I did throw in some gas treatment when I winterized her and that probably helped. First turn of the key and it started right up. A short trip along the river and thru an open Blynman Bridge and a wave to the bridge tender and I was back in Gloucester Harbor.Thanks to my niece Kailey and her fiancee Seth who went along for the ride,they provided me a ride back to the boat ramp to pick up my truck & trailer. No time for an excursion,they had dinner reservations,it was a direct ride to the dock.
