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!

Fiesta Scenery And Then Some !

The Fiesta isn't just the contests,rides and religious events. It's the people and their antics that make it a great time. Here I included some of the Fiesta scenes along the waterfront along with additional Greasy Pole and Seine Boat Race images.

Super Sunday.....Fiesta Style !

Thousands swarmed to Pavillion Beach for Sunday's Championship Seine Boat races and the Greasy Pole. I was among the throng after deciding not to take out my boat. What I ended up with was a beer splashed T-shirt and wearing Greasy Pole grease! That's what happens when you get too close to the celebration! I also got a bunch of images.
