At the corner of Lafayette and Maple stands a sign welcoming visitors to the Town of Marblehead and proclaiming this as the birthplace of the American Navy. A dropped anchor lies in the grassy median before it and I have been searching for a way to depict this scene. When I noted the flowers on the nearby shrub, I knew the opportunity had arrived. I stood across the street and shot this during breaks in traffic. The first obstacle was a yield sign that had to be removed. The second was turning this photo into something a bit ‘more’.
