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!
I figured I could combine taking the dog for a walk and shoot some photos so I loaded her into the truck and off we went. But trying to come up with subjects to shoot just didn't work out. It was windy and cold so I checked on a few flags to see what direction the wind was coming from. That made my mind to go over to Cressy's Beach again. The dog got the run of the beach and we were protected from a bitter wind. Hours later back at home I saw how the sunset was shaping up . I grabbed my camera and headed down the street.

Jay, that middle one, Sunset & Pilings, is breathtaking!
I don't know if it's just me taking special notice but it seems like we sure have had some beautiful sunsets lately. Nice captures Jay!
Thanks!
I have to admit it,I'm a sucker for sunsets. But you gotta have the clouds to go with it.
