Cape Ann Images: Gloucester Morning....Essex Afternoon !

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!

Gloucester Morning....Essex Afternoon !

The town of Essex now famous for it's fried clams and antique stores was once a mecca for ship building. Through the years over 4000 Gloucester fishing vessels were built along the tidal Essex River. Today's journey begins with Glouceter's north channel at 5:30am then it's off to Essex around 3:30pm.
