Dramatic Sky from Castle Rock

As I continue to share images captured on a recent Wednesday in Marblehead, we reach Castle Rock.  As I drove past Ocean Avenue, I noted that the clouds were thickening and the breaks in the clouds were coming less often.  I arrived at Castle Rock and proceeded to climb to a good vantage point from which to photograph the private beach that these homes on the Neck are privy to.
