As this site has continued, I have found myself with fewer opportunities to capture scenes of Marblehead on any given Wednesday.  Instead, I head out when the light is right at sunrise, sunset or, on occasion, in mid-day on a day off from work.  Yesterday, seemed like it would turn into another grey day with little to offer until the clouds started to break up near sunset and I grabbed my gear and headed out to Marblehead Neck.

I looked over my shoulder as I drove across the causeway and stopped at a few spots on the Neck before heading towards Chandler Hovey Park.  The angle of the setting sun and the breaks in the clouds dictated that this familiar spot would offer the best chance of a good sunset image.  Sure enough as 4:00 hit, the clouds parted and the sun shone through illuminated the empty harbor before me.

I has positioned myself to capture the waves breaking along the edge of the shore and managed to also capture the golden light of sunset in the clouds above and reflecting in the choppy waters below.  You can just make out the hint of golden rays coming down from the sun’s position above the tree line as well.  I can’t count the number of times that I’ve headed out to Chandlery Hovey Park for sunset but one thing is for sure…this view never gets old.
