Land/Seascapes !

Landscapes or seascapes ? I don't know what to call the images below, maybe just "scapes"! I even looked both up and both have examples that include ocean,land and anything else that is associated with the two.

Looks like the hand and arm of God setting the sun!

Cloud Canopy and One Big Cod !

Late afternoon after morning rain produced a special light effect when the sun made it's appearance. Earlier a large cod was landed at the Gloucester Seafood Auction Display.

Now that's a cod! Caught by the fishing vessel "Christina Eleni".

"Karoline Marie" arrives.

Crowded docks.

Back To The Working Waterfront !

Visitors to this port see the fishing boats coming and going but many don't see the work done during offloading. Even lifelong residents have not had the chance to see their harbor's goings on.
After almost a week of rough seas, work along the waterfront has picked up.

A couple of "Fair Winds"!

Jodrey Fish Pier

Lobster boat "Dog & I" heads in to unload.

City Hall Revisited !

During the summer of "09" I had the opportunity to climb inside the City Hall clock tower. From stairs to ladders with bird poop covering everything above the bell level, the climb to the top was interesting and was one heck of a workout. Dispite dirty windows the views was just breathtaking. A recent renovation had helped reinforce the tower structure and repaired the clock and bell ringer. But with the dirty windows I was never happy the way the images came out. So I looked back to see if I could help "clean" up the images I took back then and this is the result.

Good Harbor Beach and Milk Island. I have yet to see a cow on the island!
