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!
After I got back over the bridge the other day I had to get over a kidney stone attack! At least it didn't happen on our little trip to Atlantic City. And about 6:00pm this evening the little bugger passed! Good reason to head to the truck and grab the camera.

Hey, where were you? You must have been down on the docks by the hardware store? I shot this at about 5:00 or 6:00. If I saw you, I would have said howdy!
Black Crowned Night Heron...So that's what it is...I figured you would know! I just missed you,I was there around 6:15pm or so. I see those birds @ night all the time but this is the 1st time I saw one during daylight. They are very unusual,long wingspan with a short body !
