Cape Ann Images: 2019 St. Peter's Fiesta!

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!

2019 St. Peter's Fiesta!

The heavens was good to us, T-storms danced around Gloucester Harbor but never interrupted the Seine Boat Races or the Greasy Pole contest. This year was special for 1st time Greasy Pole walker Derek Hopkins. He won all three Friday, Saturday and Sunday walks taking the flag down each day on the 1st round walk! ( The event begins with a " Courtesy Round" where all contestants walk the pole but are not allowed to grab the flag).
