To all the people (Skip Montello et al) who got up at the crispy crack of dawn (see what I did there?) and took photos of the sea smoke when it was wild and crazy I thank you. Better you than me and you take better photos anyway. Find them on Facebook in “Rockport Stuff”. Skip takes some of them in Infrared which are mind boggling.
nb. There is an old wive’s tale about the noise a duck makes, the quack, does not echo. Glad we cleared that nonsense up.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Great photos, Where is the arched bridge?

Glad you asked. Click the link below for the wikipedia page on the bridge. If you have visited Pigeon Cove in Rockport you drove over it without even knowing. A bridge which really is held together by a Key Stone. No rebar or concrete, just rocks stacked in a arch in 1872. Once you realize this, standing under it kind of gives you the creeps. But it has not budged in 191 years …
That tight spot in Rockport on Granite Ave where there is granite stacked on either side. You are traveling over it right there. take your next right and go down. If you live to the north of this bridge you are not from Rockport but from Pigeon Cove. You are a Covah. (Technically only if one of your parents was born in a house in the Cove but some people expand that definition.)

Nice to see RD, but I’m surprised she didn’t crack and break. Great shots.
