Cape Ann Images: Surfs Up !

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!

Surfs Up !

Well "Hanna" proved to be just a pain in the side. Heavy rain and gusts maybe hit 40mph with some tree damage and that's about it. My boat without it's bimini and side curtains looked naked but weathered "Hanna" just fine. And my old Whaler took on some water,no big deal."Hanna" did provide surfers with a good swell and the beaches were like ghost towns. September on Cape Ann returned to normal.
