WORLD WAR II BOMBERS OVER GLOUCESTER
On Saturday you may have heard the rumble of engines in the sky over Gloucester and looked up to see an astonishing sight: a vintage World War Two bomber or fighter plane cruising overhead. The planes are owned by the Collings Foundation in Stow, MA, and every year as part of the “Wings of Freedom” tour they fly into Beverly Airport for a weekend. The tour, which includes a B-17G Flying Fortress bomber, B-24J Liberator bomber, B-25 Mitchell bomber, and a P-51 Mustang, will be at the airport on Sunday from 10:00 am until 4:30 pm. You can even pay to ride in one as they cruise from Beverly to Gloucester and back. For more information, visit the Collings Foundation.

BEAUTIFUL HARVEST MOONRISE-MOONSET
Last night’s Harvest Moon rising was spectacular, especially the striations of clouds in the moonglow. Early this morning the moon was nearly as big and beautiful too, and as I was setting up my gear, Snowy Egrets flew into the setting moon.

GOOD MORNING GLOUCESTER, BROUGHT TO YOU BY ANOTHER SPLENDID GOOD HARBOR BEACH SUNRISE
You may be wondering why I have been posting so many sunrise photos, more than usual, from GHB (sincerely hoping its not boring). I spent a good part of the summer there filming the Piping Plovers and other beautiful species of wildlife, but I am also there gathering B-roll for all film projects. While the movie camera is running, it’s fun to take stills as well.
Almost invariably, the light is at its prettiest well before the sun rises. I like the blues and violets in the first photo. The second photo was taken about five minutes later. Which one do you prefer?

Fish Box Derby Postponed
Dear Friends of the Fish Box Derby,
For the first time in 23 years, the Fish Box Derby Race scheduled for Sunday, September 18th has been postponed indefinitely due to the likelihood of rain. Because the rented hay used to line the racecourse cannot get wet, it is not available, therefore there is no way to safely run the race.
No date has been set for another attempt as the parking lot used for the pit area is not available in the coming weeks, and city permits for road closures must be resubmitted. A race in the spring is possible.
Funds received for charitable advertising along the racecourse will carry over to the next race.

Last chance: Michael Mazur, Gabor Peterdi, Gloucester artist Rachel Perry; Lotte Jacobi@Decordova
Go! “Overgrowth” and “Lotte Jacobi, Lisette Model: Urban Camera” close tomorrow. Decordova then readies for the Biennial which opens next month.
Mazur loved the Decordova. Nice to see his work with a monumental Peterdi and a dynamite Kollowitz portrait. The Perry is great.
Timing- rainbow!

Greening of Gloucester, Tonno, Beauport, Trustees of Reservations featured in North Shore magazine
North Shore Magazine October issue. The Greening of Gloucester illustration is by Julie McLaughlin.
“Greening of Gloucester: This seacoast town is recognized as one of the leading clean energy communities in the state. ” By Sarah Shemkus
“Enlightened Italian- Chef Anthony Caturano has a boat moored in Gloucester Harbor named Tonno-– Italian for tuna. So it’s not surprise that when the talented Boston chef opted to open a second seafood restaurant focused on coastal Italian cuisine, Gloucester was on his mind.” Tonno Restaurant review by Jeanne O’Brien Coffey
“Gilded Age: The new Beauport Hotel recalls the glamour of old-school seaside resorts.” by Jeanne O’Brien Coffey
“Celebrating Preservation: One woman honors the Trustees of Reservations’ 125th anniversary through her personal story of the organization” by Victoria Abbott Riccardi. Her father was its executive director from 1966-84. Ravenswood Park was the 77th property, added in 1993. The Trustees second acquisition, Mount Ann Park Gloucester, happened in 1897. Magnolia Shore was acquired in 1936 but deeded back to Gloucester in 1959. Two stories to look into there.
