Today’s image comes from February 21 and a relatively warm Winter day at Fort Sewall.  I had gone out with the aim of shooting the moon but a solid sunset developed which grabbed my attention well before the moon rose.

As the sun set, it spread soft light that reflected off these pastel clouds over Marblehead Neck.  I love this spot at Fort Sewall as I am able to capture the whole of the Neck in one frame (using my wide angle lens) and showcase its island-like appearance.

I chose to include the rocky shore and white surf to break up the otherwise clear water of Marblehead harbor.
