Though yesterday’s snow started off with beautiful big flakes, the wind picked up too fast to allow for any good photo opportunities.  As we remain firmly in stick and mud season, I turned to my archive of images for this week’s posts.  Though I have now shared over 1,400 images of Marblehead on this site, I still have over 650 in the ‘to be posted’ folder from outings that resulted in too many images to share…

Today’s shot comes from an incredible night at Crocker Park.  I had gone out to shoot the full moon and had just taken a shot of it over the Eastern Yacht Club when I noted that the EYC was turning a deep red color and looked behind me to find the sky had turned purple!  I quickly raced up the steps and found this familiar spot from which I could capture this view of the purple sunset over Abbot Hall.  The sunset’s last light illuminated Abbot’s new golden weathervane and added a brilliant shining focal point against the beautiful clouds.
