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!

March Madness Weather!

It all started for me with a thunderous CRACK BOOM about 7:30 Friday night and out went the lights! One of the group of 5 rotted  Silver Maple trees came crashing down in the teacher parking lot of the East Gloucester Elementary School. No electric lines were down but the tree hit one strong enough to cause 3 fuses to fail. It was during the height of the storm that battered our coast with 90 mph gusts. I live one house away but my niece's home was right next to it. Luckly only my nephew's shed was damaged. I reported the condition of those trees about 3 years ago to the DPW and they agreed they had to come down. Just two weeks ago I submitted a report with pictures of that cluster of trees! So anyway our street was without power until 6 PM Sunday.  Friday into Saturday morning I was at work at the Beauport Hotel  where thankfully the property was well designed. Built up about 4' above the footprint it remained dry during the flood tides. Only the parking lot received splashed up beach sand.
