Cape Ann Images: Winter....No Doubt About 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!

Winter....No Doubt About It !

Winter has a firm grip and single digit temps are in the forecast. Sometime late Tuesday or so weathermen are predicting another Nor'easter that may batter the coast with possible snow accumulations that could reach the 20" range! With all the snow now on the ground, I took the time to clear as much possible so I would have a place to put the new threat.

More great photos. I'm especially liking the abandoned dory one.; 7:14 AM
