Cape Ann Images: Fall Solitude On Cape Ann !

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!

Fall Solitude On Cape Ann !

They say peak foliage season is over here on Cape Ann but if you look around the yellows and oranges are still around. And when you get bright skies it's even better. Many of these images I decided to set the camera to infinity to try to capture the feeling of solitude. With the tourist season over we have this place to ourselves....and look what they are missing!

The guard rail chains mark the original width of the bridge when it carried vehicular traffic about 30 years ago!
