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!

Rainy Waterfront !

It's just too wet to take the photos I wanted. All these were taken from the cab of my truck,I even positioned the tripod on the seat and held my breath.

Rocky Neck & Fish Pier !

I was pressed for time and during a few errands I brought the camera along. I was able to "grab" a few shots along the waterfront.

Clouds.....Heaven's Sculptures !

Sometimes Clouds can play an important role as a backdrop in a photo. And sometimes clouds can be the subject all to themselves. Over the years I've steadily become aware of the importance of these moisture laden drifting bodies when choosing a subject. Here's a few examples of natures heavenly sculptures.

Defending Gloucester !

Stage Fort... the only remaining fort of three that defended Gloucester during the Revolutionary War,The War of 1812 and the Civil War.Guns long ago silenced remain aimed though their protective berms provide excitement for youngsters and a great backdrop to the surrounding scenery. Ordanance still flies out of the fort several times of year, but only in the form of fireworks during various celebrations.

Here & There !

I went a little bit everywhere today. I gave my nephew a ride to his friends house in Rockport and along the way found a yard full of clutter. Then it was off to West Gloucester and to the old LePages glue factory that is now Pond View housing complex.Then back to the harbor where I stopped at Capt. Joe's Lobster. And don't forget to check out Joey's excellent blog "Good Morning Gloucester" by clicking the link in my link section.
