Cape Ann Images: Atlantic City Boardwalk !

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!

Atlantic City Boardwalk !

Well I went away for a few days and I ended up on the waterfront,the Atlantic City waterfront that is to see Donald Trump! The cloudy rainy foggy weather followed me down but luckily the rain held off for an early morning stroll along the Boardwalk. Times are tough and it showed.There's a bit of luster lost as I walked along but new construction is happening. Then there are the cats....hundreds of them. The Atlanic City animal control releases stray cats from time to time under the boardwalk to control the rat population.It must work because I didn't see one four legged rat anywhere! And there's plenty of cat lovers taking care of the cats.And the best part of the trip....sitting at the casino bar,being the only Red Sox fan there watching the Sox beat the Yankees!
