Cape Ann Images: Check This Out!

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!

Check This Out!

Over the weekend I was going through my photo files and found images that at one time or another I asked my wife about. She hates when I stop her as she walks by the office and I say "check this out". Sometimes she couldn't care less but other times she shows interest....I think. So here's a mostly random collection that I think she liked.

Harbor Cove at night.

"Midnight Sun"

"American Heritage" on the Rocky Neck Marine Railways.

Seine boats in black and white.

Looking from the City Hall tower.

Building clouds.

Storm front moves in.

Scary skies!

It doesn't look good!

Thunder head!

Angry Seas!

Salt Island

Wind whipped wave!

Bass Rocks

Powerful surf!

Gulls are forced off the rocks!

Rainbow over the Paint Factory!

My husband is never all that interested in seeing my images either. LOL!; 8:02 PM
