Cape Ann Images: Gloucester...Night & Day !

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!

Gloucester...Night & Day !

With it being such a nice day I spent my time doing some outside chores like mending the fence,cleaning my pond and stuff like that. And when I found the time to take some photos I was at a loss for subjects.I guess writers have "writer's block", well today I had I guess.... "photographer's block"! I didn't feel like taking the same subjects and only took a few today. So with setting the clocks ahead I looked at the only clock in the house I didn't set! When I thought it was 8:45 pm I decided to get some night time shots. One subject I've been meaning to shoot at night is the "UU Chuch". But when I was ready to set-up on Middle Steet I noticed one of the flood lights was out.I didn't want to catch it in un-even light so I went to City Hall.
