Since moving to Marblehead in May 2008, capturing the view of fireworks over the water has been one of my favorite outings each July. Sadly, for the second time in 12 years, the fireworks celebration has been cancelled (the last time was due to an awful ocean storm in 2014 preventing safe passage of the barge).

This image comes from the show on July 4, 2018 and the vantage point of the causeway. I was in the same spot as for yesterday’s shot of the harbor illumination and didn’t even need my full zoom to capture this shot of red bursts over the water with Marblehead Light aglow in its own lights.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Independence Day!
