Another Past and Present!

With a chance find in my computer files, I stumbled across the Gloucester Schooner Festival of 2007 among others. Also mixed in are a few recent shots.

"American Eagle"

 

"Spirit of Massachusetts" approaches Stacy Boulevard.

                                  Lot of lines!

   An Egret sees me and asks: "Are you looking at me"?

                              Fishing for lunch!

                               Success!

                                Dog Bar Breakwater

Angry Side of Nature!

All these photos appear closer than they actually are. Using a zoom lens and editing allows me to stay at a safe distance yet capture the power of nature. When you think you are safe, nature can trick you!

Calm before the storm.

A bridge too short!

 Walking among the breakers.

 "The House" at Good Harbor Beach.

 A different view.

 Rough!

 Explosive!

 BOOM!

 Tons of water!

 A foolish approach!

 Tempting nature!

 Way too close!

 Double plume!

 The power of nature!

November Sights!

Football is in full swing and most of the tourists are gone which makes for a great month for me. Solitude takes over as the season shows many faces. Work in the boat yards brings interesting sights and that's where I headed, at least over to the Rocky Neck Marine Railways.

Gull looks out at an almost empty Good Harbor Beach. Duck in the creek!

                                Walking the Spit from Salt Island.
