A Gloucester Fall Sunday!

While Sunday is the domain of the NFL the Gloucester Fishermen Youth Football teams also play on Sunday. It all starts in the morning and runs through early evening with a slate of games of many age groups. This Sunday Danvers was the visitor and though working as the weekend stadium supervisor, I couldn't resist taking out the camera as the sun set. On my way home I stopped at the Fish Pier for a few shots.

On The Beach!

Cold and windy, a great day to be on the beach! I got the proof right here, all you have to do is imagine the fresh salt air and see the solitude. 

Good Harbor Beach then over to Pavilion Beach to see the progress of the Beauport Hotel.

No crowds!

 At first I thought this man was waving at me.

 Then I thought his surf board was buried in the sand!

 Then I thought he told some to stop!

 He must have been kung fu fighting!

 Karate chop!

 Solitude

 Like a movie scene!

 Getting closer.
