Cape Ann Images: Sights From The Boat Yards !

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!

Sights From The Boat Yards !

Another overcast day while I check out the harbor's boat yards. The Lakeman brother's boat,"Taylors Creek",a 90' pogie seiner is having a bulbous added at Rose's Marine for better sea handling. The bow was much too light for sea conditions of the North Atlantic. Also there is the "Mystique Lady" with a new paint job while the wooden fishing vessel "Razzo" is waiting for bottom hull work to begin. At the Rocky Neck Marine Railways another tug is on the "ways". The 72' tug "Sisters" is in need for some hull work.

And don't forget....Check out my new online store to purchase images!

Also....Check back later this week for something different!
