On Sunday, July 13th my family was invited by friends on a boat ride out to Halfway Rock.  The sky was a clear blue on our way out of Marblehead Harbor but we were treated to slowly building clouds on our return.

As we approached the mouth of the harbor, a sailboat came close crossing between Marblehead Light and the newly decorated scaffolding over Abbot Hall.  I captured this image as the sailboat glided into a perfect position in my composition.

Afterwards, I tried to bring out the red of the scaffolding and the large M recently added to it.  I had been shying away from capturing images of Abbot Hall during its construction but the simple M has made it a sought after element now.
