Cape Ann Images: Lobster Trap Tree and a Look Back!

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!

Lobster Trap Tree and a Look Back!

Do you remember December 2008? Well if you don't let me jog your memory. We had snow...lots of snow! Who knows what we are in for this year but at least the Lobster Trap Christmas tree is up and waiting to be decorated.

Two trees!

The mighty Lobster Trap Christmas Tree!

With well over 400 traps it's the biggest ever built!

December "08" Rocky Neck!

Fish Pier December "08"!

USCG cutter "Grand Isle" December "08"!

Lobsterman hams it up!

600' of herring boats!
