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!
It wasn't until I got home did I get a sense of an empty harbor. Perhaps my memory of the harbor the way it was back in the 60's flashed by. Back then every dock was buzzing with activity.Boats of all sizes were working their way in as others were steaming out. And yes this was Sunday but Sunday's past still had activity that were multiple to this time. And sure I was along the waterfront for maybe 20 minutes, not much time to take it in. When one boat (Anne Rowe) steamed by it broke the stillness of the waters.

Great gull shots! My fave is the 3rd one down. They're all just hanging out, waiting for a meal.
Plenty of blues! Won't it be nice when green provides a striking background?
