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!

See Ya March !

March 2011 was a cold month, only one decent warm day and the past week temps below normal. It's also the end of the fishing season for most of the "Day Fleet" as April will see closures of the inshore fishing grounds. Today the fishing vessel "Miss Trish II" came in to offload as building clouds with a possibility of snow rolled in. So what else is new?

It sure has been cold hasn't it. I don't foresee much of a warm up in the coming days either. Must be rather raw at the docks.
Watch out for the guys with knives! ; )
