Cape Ann Images: November 2017

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!

2017 Thanksgiving Battle!

I coached Manchester/Essex football from 1982 to 2002, twenty amazing years. It's always a treat to attend the Thanksgiving game vs the Georgetown Royals and meet some of the players I coached in the past. This year the Hornets were the victors by a 49 - 20 score.

November On Cape Ann!

The cold has set in but so does those crisp clear days. Here I made an excursion into Essex back to Gloucester with a night stop in Rockport.
