My View of Life on the Dock
And all I can say is, awesome! It makes the granite walls and the bridge really stand out. I would love to see a few other places cleared out of weed trees. The top of Pigeon Hill used to have scenic vistas with Profile Rock close to the summit. Now it is hard to even find.
I need to post this now before we lose the smokestack at Cape Ann Tool as the landmark in the background. I have this postcard in the mail but this is off the website I bought it from:
A weird ghostly face of a woman sticking out of the ground high above Pigeon Cove. This must have been taken prior to 1930 or so when the trees on top of Pigeon Hill had not grown back yet. With a little bit of exploring and lining up of the smokestack Rubber Duck found it:
I think the town needs to clear the brush just a little bit around the rock so we can get a good look at it. The postcard is taken from a little more to the left and back but the overgrowth is too much and you would not see the profile if I stood in the same place as the old photographer. I spoke to a Cover who remembers playing on the rock as a kid when it stood in a cleared field.
Good Morning Gloucester
