WARNING: Stay clear from the rocks during storm conditions! Many people have been swept away during these conditions over the years. When you think you are at least 50′ from the danger zone….YOU ARE NOT! Rouge waves can surprise you anytime! I took these images from the roadway using a telephoto lens.With rain hitting me sideways photography was almost impossible. Rain and mist clouded my lens

Three days of temps hovering around the 60 degree mark has given the feeling that Spring is close by. Even the nights have been mild enough to get out for a walk or take photographs.

With damage from last weeks nor’easter still around, clean-up and repair appears to be spotty depending on inconvenience and need.

What a night it was, winds gusted to 80mph while sustained winds averaged 58mph! A satuating rain that softened the soil caused many trees around Cape Ann to fall. My house shook like it never shook before….well, since I added a second story in 2004. I was lucky, we only lost power for a few seconds….several times. The back yard willow tree lost a few branches and I had to look for the cover
After being in the house with a bad cold for the past few days I had to get out. The weather was just as miserable as my cold, heavy rain and strong winds battering the coast. Instead of standing in this weather I took a few photos from the comfort of my pick-up truck.And please don’t forget to vote above for Gloucester’s own “Jimmy T” for the next “Survivor” contestant!Rainy Good Harbor Beach!
I’ve been battling a lousy cold the last few days and were only able to get out and take a few photos here and there. But hopefully now is the time of year to get over it for the warmer months. The other day the temps got into the 50’s as crowds flocked to the beaches. As I was driving by Good Harbor Beach I clicked a few shots out the window(No place to park) I saw what I thought was a large dog
Last week while snooping around the waterfront I found a houseboat that frequents the Annisquam River in the Summer sitting on the “Ways” at Rocky Neck Marine Railways. Home improvement with a different twist! While there, the landing craft “Goliath” which is used by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation was sitting in the slings of the boat lift.Houseboat on the cradle!I’m
Pretty to look at and a pain to drive in. That wet heavy snow that coats everything is the best and worst to deal with. Even though the total accumulation was only 6″ to 7″ it left a morning coating that you had to be careful what you walked under. Example: When I took the dog out snow broke free of the power line above my yard and much of it ended down my collar and onto my back!From my deck!
Neptune LNG/Suez Energy North America based in Gloucester is one of two offshore LNG terminals off our coast just got delivery of one of their support vessels. The 128′ “Independence” is one of the most advanced vessels of her type in the world! What makes her unique is her “Z-Drive” propulsion units. Instead of the traditional shaft and prop set up she has two electric motor pods below her hull
