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!
Boy has it been wild out there! Driving rain and gusty winds made it interesting but bad for photography. With low light and rain that was sideways, the photos have that grainy look. The gusts had to be over 60 mph, I was almost knocked down several times! And tonight as I compile this post, vivid lightning and sonic booms of thunder with more heavy rain!

Wow! Those are some of your best ever!!!
Even the Gulls seem rather put off by the driving rain and wind. Wasn't the thunder and lightening something? And we had a few inches of snow first!
I can see the wind is really blowing that surf hard. Scary stuff!
Jay I LOVE these...
Merry Christmas to you,
Kathy :)
