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 End of Winter 2017!

The week started with a forecast of heavy snow, as much as 18" the so called experts said. We ended up with a windy day and about 5" of snow before turning to rain. What snow was left froze solid.

Calm Before the Storm, Old and New Images!

I got lazy this week and only took a few pics, partly because I found lost files in my computer which I was going to highlight here.  I did post them but got the itch on Sunday afternoon and go on a short photo ride.
In the meantime a monster Nor'easter is predicted to cover us with as much as 18" of snow on Tuesday. Time to charge the camera battery!
