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!

Another Year Without the Fiesta!

 It was another last weekend of June without the Annual St. Peter's Fiesta here in Gloucester. Next year it will be back but in the meantime I'm posting images from the week and a few from my last boat ride and Greasy Pole Sunday Champs from the past few years.

Fishing, Fog, Threatening Skies and a Friki Tiky !

 An interesting week it was. Fishing boats catching pogies just off Pavilion Beach. We just missed a few T-storms and I finally got back on the water again.

                                             Puff of smoke

                                        

                                            Pairing up

A closer look and you can see a lobster!

Crazy clouds!
