Cape Ann Images: Two Days....Seasons Apart!

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!

Two Days....Seasons Apart!

Friday was in the 50's while Saturday it snow all day. But the snow never stuck, the good kind of snow unless you're a snow plow driver. Friday afternoon I took Molly again to Good Harbor Beach and it was sweat shirt weather. All the while I see trucks all rigged up with their plows on the streets.
Last Summer the 110' Coast Guard Cutter "Grand Isle" departed Gloucester for what was suppose to be a eight week $1.6 million refit in Baltimore. As it turned out as much as 85% of the hull had deteriorated and had to be repaired. Seven months and $2.7 million later she was back in port.
