Cape Ann Images: Relentless Nor'easter !

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. 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!

Relentless Nor'easter !

WARNING: Stay clear from the rocks during storm conditions! Many people have been swept away during these conditions over the years. When you think you are at least 50' from the danger zone....YOU ARE NOT! Rouge waves can surprise you anytime! I took these images from a safe distance using a telephoto lens.

Day two of a stubburn nor'easter that is pounding the coast. Strong winds and rain again made photography a challenge. As I type my house is shaking in the wind! The first image is at Brace Cove while the rest are at Eastern Point. As in the previous post I omitted the captions to allow the photos tell the story.

A New England Life said...: Those are some incredible waves! So powerful and scary. Won't it be wonderful tomorrow when the sun comes out and it warms up into the 50's!!!

Guess there's not walking the breakwater this week.; 8:59 PM
