Cape Ann Images: That's It ! Next Ride.... to the Ramp !

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!

That's It ! Next Ride.... to the Ramp !

The season's over, The next time in the boat is to take her to the ramp and "haul hull"! New tarp is ready,I just hope the weather holds up. Well the tide was low and the temps were moderate and a steady breeze from the southwest. Good time to head up the Annisquam River and check out the foliage. And the City Hall tower wrapping is coming off. A new copper cap... she's looking good. The rebuilding of "The Rudder" is in full swing and the F/V Blacksheep was spotted heading to her winter dockage.

Thanks.; 9:07 PM
