This sunset image of the working boats of Marblehead harbor seemed like a fitting way to head into the long weekend.  As the days grow longer and after this January thaw, Spring suddenly doesn’t seem so far away.

This image was taken on April 12, 2016 at 7:20pm as the sunset gave up its last rays of light to illuminate the sky and the working boats of Marblehead harbor floated on the still waters.  From now until late April, these boats will remain the sole denizens of our harbor and then each mooring will begin to fill with pleasure boats for the season.
