The clouds finally parted and the sun came out around 11 AM. I decided to take a drive up to Rockport, MA. Traffic wasn't too bad, about the same amount of cars going north as there were south. I drove up route 128 to route 127. I took 127 around the coast of Cape Ann and stopped in Rockport to take a walk.

One of the most painted and photographed buildings in Rockport.

Bearskin Neck. It certainly has changed since the last time I was here, about 20 years ago. Where does the time go.
The only establishment that I remember from way back when, Helmut's Strudel. There were a lot of nice shops here, a few seafood restaurants and several artist galleries.

Pictures along the southeast coastline of Rockport, heading toward Gloucester. There is no place to pull over, signs all over the place "No Stopping/Standing Anytime". I pulled in to the Elks Lodge parking lot to take these two pictures. I had never been down this section of route 127A. What a beautiful drive. I passed Wingaersheek Beach a few minutes after taking these pictures.
Not a cloud in the sky up in Rockport.. but as I got closer to home, big billowy clouds appeared.
Hi Stephen, thank you for stopping by my blog. You certainly got some good shots in Rockport! Lucky you to have better light and skies then I did. It's such a beautiful place to photograph and spend some time. I can't wait to go back!
