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!

January Looking Like January!

So far we've been lucky as far as snow is concerned, only two snow storms the plows came out for. This post is a day late, I didn't take enough shots for much content but did take a side trip to Essex Monday afternoon. But last week a came across an unusual accident on my way home. A car was sitting on the rocks at Bass Rocks. According to the police a 35 year old local man said he was traveling down Mooreland Road at 50 mph ( the posted speed limit is 25 mph) and "didn't realize there was an intersection there"!


This driver found a road too short!
