On Saturday I was over by the Tarr & Wonson Paint Factory looking to see if a few iced up fishing vessels were in the harbor. Harbor activity was slow at best with this cold weather. Then I realized how interesting the downtown architecture was from that vantage point.

Boy It's Cold Out !
Middle of the day and it's 23 degrees out. Not too bad with the sun out but a 30+ mph wind the cold goes right through you. Today I headed to the north side of Cape Ann to Gloucester's village of Lanseville and over to the town of Rockport.

Difficult Light !
With the clouds playing games with the sun, trying to get a descent shot was a challenge. Low light,too much light was the name of the game as the afternoon went along.
