On Saturday, December 7th as part of the Annual Marblehead Christmas Walk, Santa and Mrs. Claus came to town. They arrived aboard a lobster boat and stopped for photos prior to making their way up State Street in the annual Christmas Walk parade. The weather cooperated with fairly mild temps for early December and the coating of snow that had fallen overnight put much of the town in a festive mood. Turnout was great and my family and I ended up on the corner of State and Washington streets with me hoping for a shot that would include the newly re-opened Old Town House.
I first tried to capture Glover’s Regiment but with their backs to me the shot did not come out as I had hoped. As the parade progressed, I remembered that Santa and Mrs. Claus usually made their way in the bed of a pickup truck and hoped that was the case this year. As you can see, my luck held on this day and I was able to capture Santa Claus in front of Old Town House waving to the gathered crowd.
I decided to have a bit of fun with Photoshop when it came to the license plate. Not a perfect result but it works…
