Cape Ann Images: Tall Ships of the World !

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!

Tall Ships of the World !

The tall ships are staying another day. Thunderstorms kept the vessels in their berth while I motored about the harbor taking it all in. Two late arrivals were the "Tecla" and "Europa". Two vessels "Spirit of Bermuda" and "Urania" did manage to depart for Boston.

My attempt to give the Spirit of Bermuda a sendoff equal to what the LNG supply vessel "Gateway Endeavour" water cannons gave to welcome the Picton Castle. Unfortunatly my pump couldn't match the 950 gallons per second and my nephew Andrew holding the nozzle manages about 1/4 pint per second!
