Gloucester & Rockport MA this morning. DIAL UP WARNING!!!

[graywarrior]

Went with SIL who showed us every damn park her dog took a crap in when we all lived there (like we didn't know that already!!!!)

Most of these shots were drive by's except for the first 7 or so which SIL was kind enough to stop her car and let me the fuck out of the dog telling stories prison on wheels and snap some shots. We were hoping for some wild waves due to Hurricane Bill, but there was really nothing to get excited about. Still, I miss living there because it's so beautiful.

1. Nice pics! My wife and I were just down in that area last month.

Beautiful place. My wife made us drive to every lighthouse in the area so she could get pictures however...

[graywarrior]

2. It's a stunning place.

The townies are weird, but then, who ain't.

Thanks for the vacation idea! Only about a day and a half
drive from western PA. :hi:

[graywarrior]

4. Lot's of fantastic B&B's around Gloucester and Rockport

I can lead you to the better one's when you're ready.

6. Thanks!

Hopefully next summer.

5. What, no pic of Motif #1?

:)

We were there last month, and it really was beautiful. I could have used a full day to lounge around at Halibut SP...

[graywarrior]

7. I saw the original before it got blown away by a storm

SIL wizzed by not wanting to stop anywhere.

10. I don't see any moonies in your pics!

....but I can almost smell the ocean air. Lovely. Thanks.

Oh, and did you take a pic of the famous statue at Gloucester?

I miss that area. I hear there is a wonderful museum in Gloucester, and I didn't ever see it.

[MorningGlow]

11. One of my favorite places

Thanks for the pics!

I always want to live there...and then I get stuck in a traffic jam on 128...

18. Gloucester consists of three families.

They've been incestuous for centuries.

12. Great pics!

How do you pronounce Gloucester? 'Glushter?'

14. Been to Rockport many times in the wee hours for sunrise shots, here's one.

That spot is called Bearskin Neck. I usually stand near those lobster traps on the right in your first Rockport pic and
shoot straight ahead to the open sea where the sun rises between those 2 jetties.

But you can only get shots like that around early/mid July, otherwise the sun will be up way off to the right. I probably took this around 5:10am.

[graywarrior]

19. That is stunning!

I used to live on Bearskin Neck. We should plan a meetup there sometime.

[cwydro]

15. ooooh.

NICE pics!

[Gormy Cuss]

17. And it's SUNNY!

Actually looks like summer.

[foo_bar]

20. Nahant was rough, there was a line at Forty Steps

Can't even smoke a doobie in peace anymore. The surf was pretty intense too.

[graywarrior]

22. Aw, we shoulda gone there.

Forty Steps....the land of dropping a lid and tripping out.

21. Thanks for the pics graywarrior

I miss the ocean. Hope you had a good time regardless of the SIL.

[graywarrior]

24. It was fun.

She's crazy, but all I have to do is say the work cocksucker and she practically dies laughing....mainly because she uses that word on people when she's pissed.

[Dystopian]

23. Thank you for posting.....

What awesome shots!
I was so planning on getting a chance to see the ocean this summer...
It never happened....
But it just did now!
:loveya:
peace~
