Sunday, February 14th saw record low temperatures and the most incredible display of sea smoke in Marblehead.  I spent much of the morning shooting from Fort Beach and Fort Sewall toward Marblehead Light.  When the sun rose high enough in the sky to make further compositions less interesting, I got back into the warm car and drove off to capture other familiar scenes bathed in sea smoke.

Gerry Island was only a short way from my spot on Fort Beach so I drove past the lobster shanties and made my way there next.  I had checked the tides the night before and expected the road to Gerry Island to be visible with the tide still fairly low.  The scene before me did not disappoint.

While not as extreme as the sea smoke around Chandler Hovey Park, Gerry Island was bathed in smoke on this arctic morning.  I composed this image to include the path to Gerry Island and the warm sky and waited for wisps of sea smoke to surround the small island.  This was my favorite shot from this spot.
