Cape Ann Images: "Twin Lights" !

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!

"Twin Lights" !

Thatcher Island or is it Thacher Island as some say? I prefer the original name of Thatcher. Anyhow us locals refer it as "Twin Lights". An overcast day presents some interesting lighting. I'm able to shoot in the direction where the sun is and was able to take a few of the harbor. Among those were a couple of Slime Eel boats from Maine heading home after unloading their catch. Also the schooner "Roseway" up on the railways getting some work done.
