My Views of Gloucester !

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!

A Couple of Gloucester Icons !

Most of the day was cloudy but late in the afternoon the sun broke out. I was planning to shoot sunset scenes but the clouds didn't cooperate. So I waited for dusk to settle in and check out the light on two of Gloucester's icons.The Fishermen's Memorial statue and Eastern Point Light.
