I had plans to share more images from this late September afternoon and a ‘ring around the Neck’ hitting some of my favorite spots but other outings kept getting in the way…

On the same day that I visited Chandler Hovey for that ‘sit for a spell’ image I also stopped at most of the public ways on the Neck to capture scenes of Marblehead Harbor with some great light and clouds. This was the view from Parker Lane which has always been a favorite but has been limited in compositions for the past few years since the stairs have been washed out and the ledge became dangerous/precarious.

Still, the view of boats in the harbor with a backdrop made up of Abbot Hall, St Michaels steeple and Grace Community church was nearly picture-perfect on this early afternoon with foliage visible at Crocker Park. That one dark cloud overhead spoiled the image a bit but, that seemed very ‘2020’ somehow…
