It was a challenging day trying to shoot with a surf induced mist covering the shore. With mist invading my lens I did my best to capture the sights of Good Harbor Beach and Bass Rocks. With the wind and rain a memory, people and pets converged on the shore that was also enveloped in surprisingly warm humid temps.Fisherman looking at the surf!Looking for a spot!Getting ready to fish!Surging sea!
What’s left of Hurricane Ida is now pounding our coast. Latest winds here is 14mph with gusts just under 30mph but bands of heavy rain have been passing all day. These are images from the past two days. The first group was from Friday at Braces Cove, after I got home and downloaded the photos I couldn’t believe the idiot getting too close to the monster breaker! I will omit captions….I believe
The Farm Bar & Grille of Essex along with Joey Ciaramitaro’s Good Morning Gloucester hosted a Hot wing eating contest Thursday night. The winner was not judged on how many wings they ate or how fast they ate them but who would survive the intense spicy sauce that was increased from round to round. It wound up being a hot time in the old town! This will be the first series leading up to the
With no weather for sunset images for the last few days I went with what there is…..overcast skies!Interesting blue hulled vessel!Clouds under the clouds!The Ice Cream Gallery on Rocky Neck….The colors and texture drew my eye!Fishing vessel “Titan” steams through the harbor!Block…and if you look close you’ll see it has a happy face!Darkness descends!Cape Pond Ice Company!Lobster boat “Capt.
I was getting that video slideshow urge again so I whipped up this with an Autumn theme.
Again I was planning a sunset series only to be thwarted by solid cloud cover. During the day it looked promising with a hazy sun busting through now and then. Last night I disassembled my camera…at least as much as I dared to give it a good cleaning and was anxious to see how good I did. So with that,I headed to the waterfront to take some late afternoon shots.Filling the herring truck!
I was planning on a sunset excursion around Cape Ann this afternoon but clouds moved in spoiling that idea. I did make my way over to Jones Creek and Good Harbor Beach but was surprised by the absent wildlife! Other than a few ducks there was nothing around…not even seagulls! Contrail “X” over Good Harbor Beach!”X” over Thacher Island!Jones River Salt Marsh sign!Boat on mooring!Bumpy road!Empty
The light caught my eye! I hadn’t planned on any photo excursions today until I saw the light from the setting sun against my bedroom wall. I grabbed the camera and I headed to Rocky Neck. Then later I recovered some lost photos from as far back as 2005. Bedroom wall!Paint Factory at twilight!Camera on a tripod!”Carol Ann” heads in!Lots of gulls!Sun goes down!Swan family in Smiths Cove!Family
I try to think up a theme for every post but this time I was stumped. This is a collection of images from the past few days plus one image I took several years ago that I just discovered lurking in a wayward file. Since it was taken the same time of year, I figured to go ahead and use it here.”Old Glory” and City Hall!The Tony Gentile Band Stand!Fishing vessel “Plan-B”!From 2006…. “Changing
They say peak foliage season is over here on Cape Ann but if you look around the yellows and oranges are still around. And when you get bright skies it’s even better. Many of these images I decided to set the camera to infinity to try to capture the feeling of solitude. With the tourist season over we have this place to ourselves….and look what they are missing!Looking down Thatcher Road!Vista
Sometimes the harbor looks tranquil,peaceful with no activity other than the sights and sounds of searching gulls and a boat or two. But even on Sunday activity can be found as fishermen tend to their “shore chores”.”Carol Ann” approaches the Paint Factory!”Traveler” sits on her mooring!Herring fleet!”Carol Ann” heads in!”Western Venture” bow heavy!Lots of net!Mending net!Lots of work to do!Net
It was time to check out what project Geno Mondello has going on in the Dory Shop. He’s building a Lunenburg dory which will be 19′9″ overall length and 15′ long at the waterline. I also added a few images from around the waterfront taken the past few days.I asked Geno to smile! I took two photos and this is as close to a smile I got!Bow on!The shop! And yes he knows where everything is!Stem!
After a day of drenching drizzle and rain I headed down to Bass Rocks then over to the Dog Bar Breakwater to see how the surf was doing. It was doing well as the tide was retreating, but small craft had a tough time negotiating the swells.Big rollers head in!Crash on the rocks!Explosive!More rollers!Getting too close!Waves move in!”Michael & Kristen” heads out!Lobster boat “Gillian Anne” tackles
I waited for tonights sunset thinking it may be a great one. It wasn’t so great but still was interesting.Lobster boat “Jean Elizabeth” !I forget what this gentleman said was the name of this plant but it sure had a big finger!North Shore Art Association!Beacon Marine!Beacon Marine Basin!Lobster boat block!Cloud Swirls!Boston in the distance!Grooming!Lone skiff!Skiffs on the Wonsons Cove landing!
