So as luck would have it, this image was waiting in line next to yesterday’s image of the lifeguard chair on an empty beach.  I went back to view all images taken on this day and remembered there was a “smoky sou’wester” that explained this phenomenon.  I had never heard the term until a gentleman floating in the waters of Doliber Cove shared it with me.

Anyway, this image of a flag planted near a small grave marker at Old Burial Hill came from a walk around Marblehead exploring the foggy conditions.  The angle of the sun and fog served to break up the beams of sunlight as they lit up the trees beyond the small rock wall.

While sharing images as soon as I capture them is fun, it’s just as enjoyable to happen on these images in the archive years later and relive a moment spent capturing the beauty of Marblehead.
