Cape Ann Images: Damage, Dusk and Sunset !

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!

Damage, Dusk and Sunset !

With damage from last weeks nor'easter still around, clean-up and repair appears to be spotty depending on inconvenience and need. The month of March seems to be a good time for sunsets...at least here. And at dusk I visited the home of the 19th century artist Fitz Henry Lane.

Fixing storm damage!
