It’s easy to look back on the incredible Winter of 2014/2015 now with near fondness considering the amazingly mild Winter that we have had thus far this year.  On February 18, I ventured out at dawn to capture a frozen Marblehead Harbor.  We had deep freeze conditions for weeks and no snow leading to a perfectly frozen surface on the harbor.  With the Boston Yacht Club dock and clubhouse anchored in the ice, the composition was too good to pass up.

You can make out fine detail in the ice which served to reflect the light of the rising sun on this morning.  It’s rare to see a frozen Marblehead Harbor thus making this an easy choice for #9 in the Top 10 of 2015 Countdown.
