On Tuesday, June 9th, thunderstorms were predicted for Boston around 7:00pm and their trajectory looked like it might bring them just north of Marblehead. Knowing that storms always make for dramatic light, I headed out to Chandler Hovey Park hoping for some great light. I arrived at 7:15 and at first was disappointed with the too-thick clouds which were blotting out the sun. That is until I looked behind me and spotted the rainbow! I’ve shared one image of the rainbow already but this week will focus on five images that came afterwards.
By 7:30pm, the rainbow had dissipated and I took up position to capture Marblehead Light backed by the now more impressive cloud structures and beautiful light shining through near the horizon. I ended up standing on the rocks that form part of the park near the flagpole which allowed me a better angle and to take in much more of the parks beauty. Luckily, I had selected my widest lens on this outing and was able to capture the vast expanse of grass and the beautiful light beyond.
Come back each day to see images from the night as the sun set and the colors brightened…
