Photoshop Memory
If I should grow old and dim of eye
with my memory shrouded in mist,
one sight I’d remember is the Annisquam Light
and I’d hope to see it like this.
The sky and the water perhaps bluer than true,
the boulders, a rich golden glow;
the textured ripples sculpt’d by the tide
’cause my photoshop helped keep it so.

Beautiful Photo. From Birth to 12 years old I spent my summer months at Wingaersheek. My Greatgrandfather and his brother had bought the beach back in the late 1880′s and built the “Castles” and the “Bungalow.” When my Greatgrandfather died in the 1930′s, my Great Grandmother gave the City of Gloucester that part of Wingaersheek that is now public. I have brought a small number of black and white photos of Wingaersheek over to Fred Bodin and he will be having them scanned. I’m working on getting more over to him. I’ve seen some of your photos before on the GMG site I believe. I sense that you too have a love of Wingaersheek. Thanks for sharing your photos and words! Harriet Harding(Rockport,Mass)
