The past few days haven’t lacked for snow but wether it was the poor light or timing of the fall (and pauses between), I hadn’t been able to capture views of our town blanketed in white. Thankfully, I’ve been out many times in the snow and often came back with views of the same landmark from different angles resulting in very different perspectives.
Today’s image of Old Town House in the snow comes from a picture perfect snow fall on the morning of January 24, 2015. There had been a light but sticky snow overnight and the plows had made quick work of it but hadn’t needed to salt much. The result was this scene of historic downtown Marblehead with black pavement breaking up the white snow which was still falling as of 7:57am when this was taken and had stuck to the bare branches of trees in front of Old Town House.
Here are a few more scenes from the same morning but from different angles:
I miss my hometown.
The color of the Old Town House gives warmth to the photo – a feeling of both sun and snow.
Both quaint and beautiful! Fortunate to live so close to Marblehead! Billie
One of my favorite buildings, use to work at the filling station on the corner, it was a lot of fun back then.
I remember that filling station!
Beau!!
What struck me instantly was the red “Do Not Enter” sign, the red bows on the wreaths on the doors and the red stoplight – all perfectly positioned. The melted manhole cover makes a wonderful wreath in the snow.
