Cape Ann Images: From Breakwater to Breakwater!

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 Breakwater to Breakwater!

It was a 50+ degree day to end January so I decided to go for a late afternoon ride around Cape Ann. Not having a theme in my mind, my first stop was on T-Wharf in Rockport to see if any photo ops presented itself. After T-Wharf I headed to Lanesville a small village which is part of Gloucester. During that ride the theme hit me. After talking a couple of shots there I figured I had just enough time to catch the sunset on Eastern Point off the Dog Bar Breakwater.
