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!

The Timing Was Right!

My truck is has been in the shop since last Monday after the initial shop I took it to performed unauthorized work! That's another story but brings me to this entry. Without transportation during the day I finally was able to get out with my wife's Jeep on Saturday but only for a short time since she had errands to attend to. The first stop was over to the Boulevard and I could see from there waves crashing over the Breakwater. A ride along Bass Rocks with a quick stop at Brace Cove allowed me about 20 minutes at the Dog Bar Breakwater. There in that short time I was able to take 108 shots! Here are some of those shots.
