I bought my drone (the Phantom 4 Pro) in November 2016 and, shortly after, became a certified pilot. On April 12, 2017, I decided to explore Marblehead Harbor from the air and flew above an empty harbor to this spot overlooking the Neck. With the clouds overhead reflecting in the still waters of the harbor and the empty moorings dotting the water, I discovered a new appreciation for this ‘between season’.

Despite the limited foliage on trees and the emptiness of the harbor, there is something hopeful about this image – a feeling of something to look forward to or that something great is just around the corner. Hopefully you feel it too.
