Cape Ann Images: Harbor Sights !

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!

Harbor Sights !

Heading into Gloucester harbor was the fishing Vessel "Janya & Joseph" along with a frequent visitor, the USCG "Flying Fish". The 87 foot "Flying Fish" is one of the newest class of cutters in the Coast Guard inventory. She was launched in 2002. Also pictured is a new 23' Maritime Skiff. And work on the fish pier,hauling nets while the herring boat "Voyager" empty and sitting high.
