Lightning Show This Morning
Driving in from the west at 3:30AM this morning I followed the light show of a lightning storm as it headed east.
Lightning is very hard to photograph. No tripod and no idea how to keep the lens open on the camera. This is from I4C2 and the light in the distance is not the sun coming up. It’s about 4:15.

Had to burn some time before going epic fail rock hunting so went to Rockport. Lightning still going nuts but much harder to catch any since the shutter would not stay open. I took a ton of shots between strikes.

Looking Back
Signs at Good Harbor Beach
Friday June 4 was a beach day for some. It was a beautiful day but only a few enjoyed it.
As I entered the parking lot, and was greeted by Mark Haverland, I noticed how many signs were posted, around that little booth.
The beach was not crowded, but the life guard was watching every person who ventured towards the water.
I also met a family from Concord, with their college aged daughters, I think the father was taking a break from tuition, and two women from Canada, Petra, and Ruth. It is always interesting to talk to people and why they come to Gloucester, the response is always because they LOVE IT. We are lucky!
