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!

Memorial Day Weekend Washout But I Still Launched the Boat!

 You can blame me, I launched the boat Friday. As soon as I entered the harbor the rain started and hasn't stopped! But my long wait to get back on the water is finally over. Still no current Massachusetts boat registration and I'm going on 3 weeks since I sent the paperwork in! All Mass recreational registration offices are closed due to the pandemic and the only way to get a new boat registration is by mail. I was told as long as I carry copies of the paperwork I should be fine. Also the boat still has a current sticker from the previous owner. It was time to get this lawn ornament where it belongs.

Ready to roll.

The bridge is up and I wait! I waited this long, a few more minutes is nothing!
Just launched.
The boat looks strange with the top down!
