Having gone out Wednesday during the day and again for the moonrise, I wasn’t feeling up to another outing on Thursday night but then the sky started to break in just the right spots and I found myself driving towards the causeway to find the right angle for a shot.

I ended up crossing the causeway and promptly turning back towards Riverhead Beach. I had charged my drone which I hadn’t flown in a while and launched that after setting up the real camera on a tripod. I was able to capture images through a remote while flying over the harbor to get a good angle on the setting sun.

As the sky hit peak color, I hit the remote and captured this image of a pink-purple October sky over Marblehead Harbor with the last light of day reflecting off Marblehead Light and homes along the Neck.
