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!

Two Short Hops in the Boat!



 Saturday I headed to the boat for a quick ride to check on all systems but was delayed. The dock owner asked me if I'd like a deep water slip instead of the spot I was in that's in the mud at low tide. I said yes then I was off. As I circled the harbor I noticed the sky getting really dark and heard rumbles of thunder. Instead of continuing to the outer harbor to take a speed run I headed back to the dock. I barely made it as the wind picked up and heavy rain came down. I quickly tied up then down below into the cabin I went. Sunday was a different story, hot and humid and I was able to complete my testing. Everything went well. I took some pictures too.
