Cape Ann Images: We Needed Rain And We Got 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. 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!

We Needed Rain And We Got It !

We sure needed rain and this Nor'easter sure provided it. As far as a Nor'easter goes I would say it was more on the nuisance side. It lacked the strong winds but a day of drenching rains pounded the coast for most of the day.

Storm front approaches.

Watery walkway.

"Little Mako" was able to fish!

Boats in the rain.

Beach day for gulls.

Lonely Good Harbor Beach.

Picture time!
