Cape Ann Images: An Interesting Weekend!

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!

An Interesting Weekend!

Saturday night the 2012 series of Gloucester Downtown Block Parties began on a beautiful night. And Sunday afternoon while I was driving along East Main St. I happened to look toward "Portugee" Hill and could see smoke rising above the roof tops. A house fire on Perkins St. was the source of the smoke and the Gloucester Fire Department made a great stop and confining the fire to a small portion of the house. After I snapped a few images I went over to Good Harbor Beach and was surprised how packed it was!
