My Views of Gloucester !

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!

Someone Can Ruin An Artistic Icon But No One Can Ruin A Beautiful Sunset !

While walking the dog at Stage Fort Park I discovered the Sea Serpent painted on the rocks of Cressy's Beach vandalized again! After the original was covered with white paint by vandals another was quickly added. Now Sea Serpent #II is obscured by black paint. It's a shame that someone had to put a "black eye" on such a beautiful spot. Well at least no one can ruin a beautiful sunset!

That's a shame about the graffiti, but the fishing dock photographs are wonderful.
