Cape Ann Images: A New Era and a Strange Accident!

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!

A New Era and a Strange Accident!

I finally got my "new" boat home and after a close inspection I found a trove of goodies. Tool sets, binoculars, plenty of cleaning supplies and even packages of "Emergency Rain Ponchos"!

Last week there was a major gas leak on E. Main St. and detours were sending traffic up Chapel Street. Many not knowing my street is a dead end drove in. One unfortunate woman drove around the closed East Gloucester Elementary School and drove around back perhaps thinking she was on a short cut. She drove as far as she could then realized there was no way through. She backed up thinking to turn around and drove over a wall, she wasn't injured.
