Cape Ann Images: FOG !

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!

FOG !

Rain and fog and that's the pattern we are in. Another busy day on the docks as boats come and go.

Beach weather for these folks!

Gull in the fog.

Rigging adjustment.

This gull hurt it's leg falling from the roof when it was a chick. Eric and other dock workers nursed it to health and "Cripple"(walks with a limp and swims in circles) has been a regular visitor since.

Got it!

Hammerhead shark? No....it's a shark, a Porbeagle shark, (Lamna nasus). Did you know that the embryos are cannibalistic in the womb and feed on other fertilized eggs in the oviduct? Because of this only two to four pups survive to be born.

A New England Life said...: I like that gull story. He's one of the lucky ones!

Never heard of the shark before. Or the cannibalistic ways! Yikes!

I like those last two shots. Let's hope some warmer, sunnier days are on the horizon.; 9:45 PM
