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!

I guess that's a sort of Fish'n!

My Views of Gloucester !

Independence Day !

Fireworks in Gloucester the night before on the 3rd, herald in the 4th of July. Fireworks are very difficult to photograph if you spend too much time changing the settings on your camera. That was the case with me when I thought I had a brilliant idea. Well the plan didn't work and the quality of the shots were duds! With having the 4th off from work I decided to go for a ride in the boat. I was prepared for the antics of weekend boaters and I promised myself to keep my cool. After a tour offshore I headed up river. While patiently waiting for the Blynman Bridge to go up a "Weekend Warrior" with no idea that river traffic has the right-of-way blasted his way through the "Cut"!
