Cape Ann Images: The Glory of Gloucester !

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!

I guess that's a sort of Fish'n!

The Glory of Gloucester !

In this blog I talk about light,Cape Ann light to be specific. The ever changing light that draws artist of canvas and camera. But recent events has the world's media portraying Gloucester in a different light. A recent thread on Cape Ann Online's forum titled "What's so good about Gloucester"? Has inspired me to create this post. Rainbow over the fleet, Kids fishing,Fall colors,Niles Pond in the winter and sunsets that can make one pause and reflect about our world are only a few reasons "What's so good about Gloucester"!
