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!
What a shock! I had no clue as I slid through Smiths Cove past the Rudder Restaurant. You see The "Rudder" was my late aunt's buisness for many years,her pride & joy. Her place where she could be herself and entertain the patrons.Gone are the days of "Knuckles O'Toole" at the piano. Being graced with the likes of Judy Garland and Peter Faulk coming in for a bite. Sports luminaries such as Shaquille O'Neal "The Shaq" and coach Patrick Riley stopped in.But it looks like a new Rudder is taking shape. New memories for the new owners,I wish them well!
Amazing photos: I've bookmarked your post. I'm a hydrologist down here in the Everglades ... but spent 4 years on Cape Cod a life time ago. Massachusetts is a great state!
