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?

It must have been a beautiful summer day when you took these photo's since everyone is wearing short sleeves. I miss those days right about now!
I would be interested to know what the dory is used for . . .
The dory is the "pick-up truck" of the sea! During the schooner heyday fishermen would venture away from the "mother ship" and drop hand-lines with hundreds of baited hooks. When the dory was full it was time to head back to the schooner. Today they are used mostly for recreation and excercise.
