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!

From a Nor'easter To Nice!

A pretty nasty Nor'easter hit us during the week. High winds and 6" of rain brought down trees, flooded roadways and caused scattered power outages. While working the midnight shift I noticed torrents of water cascading under the doors into the garage. After inspection I discovered the drains were clogged with leaves. It required three trips during the night to keep the drains clear. My ride home, normally 25 minutes was actually 1 hour and 10 minutes due to flooded roads, downed trees and heavy and I mean HEAVY traffic! Other than a downspout pulling away from my house, we survived just fine. But a tree toppled into a clearing I created for the dogs in the nearby woods.......Nobody heard it fall!
