Colorful Lobster Buoys
This stack of working lobster buoys shows years of real harbor use, paint chipped and faded from sun, salt, and weather. I photographed them in Rockport, Massachusetts on Cape Ann, one of New England's most beloved coastal towns. This original photograph is available in a variety of formats, from wall art to gifts.
