My View of Life on the Dock
I know Paul Morrison likes to stack up rocks. He uses the term cairns to describe the stacked up balanced rocks.
The pictures here are from halibut2 and were taken on May Day at Halibut Point. The video is from pro rocker-stacker Bill Dan.
From the wikipedia page for cairns-
A cairn (carn in Irish, carnedd in Welsh, càrn in Scots Gaelic) is a human-made pile of stones, often in conical form. They are usually found in uplands, on moorland, on mountaintops, or near waterways.
If you’re looking for something to do why not head out to Halibut Point, make some cairns, take some pics and submit them here to GMG

Located in Gloucester’s Bay View neighborhood is a little inlet called Hodgkin’s Cove. One of the little gems on our side of the bridge. Here’s a recent springtime view.

Kevin from New Jersey who joined the GMG Flickr group and contributes fantastic fishing industry photos from Point Pleasant New Jersey drove up to say “Hey” and attend the GFAA fundraiser at Lat 43 last night. Kevin takes outstanding photos and loves the fishing industry and everything to do with it. Here he is in the office. It’s an honor to have him part of the GMG team.

During this particular sunrise, our little inner harbor in Rockport, Massachusetts was ablaze with pink.
