I really wanted to shoot a sunrise but just could not fathom the 4am wakeup that would be required.  That is until I woke last Wednesday at exactly 4am without an alarm clock and figured it must be a sign.  I had plotted out the sunrise ‘just in case’ and realized Hammond Park would offer the best vantage point.  I set up and watched as the dawn broke spreading a purple glow over the harbor filled with boats.

This will be the first of five posts this week documenting an incredible sunrise over Marblehead harbor.  This seemed a perfect way to lead up to my entry in the Marblehead Festival of the Arts as well as a showing of my photos at Lost + Found in Five Corners.  Lost + Found will be having a reception on Saturday, July 2nd from 6:30-9:30 – I hope to see you there and meet some of my readers in person!
