The Japanese defense forces couldn't stop Godzilla.....I captured the beast!
Spied this over Route 128 on my way home from work. Dirty windshield and strong sun glare I had to darken the image and crop out the sun. That's the only edit to what's probably my worse quality image. I figured some would get a kick out of it so I posted the pic on facebook. A few shares later it's gone world wide! Who would of thunk it?

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!

Winter's Grip!

Well the grip of winter has a hold of us. Frigid temps and snow has been a regular visitor and at times high winds and seas.

Sugar Snow!

 Snow as I head to work seems like a pattern lately. Driving along route 128 isn't fun when the snow is flying  along with foolish drivers. There's some unwritten rule to many owners of 4x4's to drive fast when roads are slick. The funny thing though it's those drivers I see spinning out! Anyway  the recent snow stuck to everything creating a sugar coated effect.
