Click the photos to make larger and you can see the fine ribbon of migrating birds. Many, many species of birds migrate at night. You can often see them very late in the day as they are beginning their night time journey, traveling along the shores of Cape Ann before crossing Massachusetts Bay on their southward migration.

GLOUCESTER TO BOSTON THREE VIEWS

Gloucester to Boston skyline Niles Beach sunset www.kimsmithdesigns.com -3With the frigid front moving in, last night’s sunset from Niles Beach revealed a crystal clear view to the Boston skyline. The warm hues in the photo are deceptive; a biting wind was whipping about. Peach met violet in the low hanging clouds and I thought the whole scene looked like a modern impressionist’s painting.

AMBER AND JOHN FISHING BOAT WITH SAIL?

What is the purpose of the sail on the Amber and John? Is to help power the boat or does it have some other purpose? I would love to know. Thank you.

We have the nicest Boston skyline views, without the traffic

When I lived in East Boston, we believed we had the best Boston skyline view.  Granted it was closer, but we have a really nice view here without the traffic and crazy drivers.

New Addition to Boston Skyline?

I don’t know what this was – strange cloud formation, LNG tanker explosion, skyscrapers erected overnight in Quincy, a giant sea serpent – but it created a very different look to the horizon this morning from Eastern Point.
