On Sunday, I headed out after the first snowfall of the season and made my way from Little Harbor to Grace Oliver Beach and then Redd’s Pond before heading to historic downtown Marblehead. I shot a few frames of Old Town House and then walked down State Street to explore some new compositions.
I ended up about halfway down the street eyeing this lonely lit street lamp the entire time. I knew I wanted to make that a focal point of the image and then found the right position to include the gently curve in the street, the pure white snow on the ground and clinging to the tree branches as well as that familiar star atop the crane.
With the first light of morning diffused by clouds, the entire scene took on a warm glow that helped mirror the light of that lone street lamp.
