Cape Ann Images: Fireworks !

Why I created this blog.

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 bikes! 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. 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!

Fireworks !

Gloucester held it's annual July 3rd Horribles Parade as thunder storms provided natures fireworks.Like an old fart I stayed home! I did have plans to take out some friends in the boat to see the fireworks(man-made)but the storm dashed those plans.With the wife out of town I wasn't about to go out alone,set the anchor,hang around and say "Awwwww...wow...oooooo" then head in. But as the sky cleared I got the itch to walk down to Pirates Lane and take some pictures.
