There are so many ways to quantify how bad 2020 has been and yet, despite everything, as we near the end, I have 77 images captured this year and shared on my Wednesdays in Marblehead site that hopefully brought a bit of joy to you.

I am starting my 2020 Top 10 countdown with this shot from August 19th taken from Ocean Ave where it splits to Harbor Ave on the Neck. A simple shot and composition, captured handheld on a quick outing but it came shortly after Abbot Hall had shed its scaffolding and the late afternoon sun combined with nice cloud cover made me smile when I saw it again.

For the pure joy of seeing a full Marblehead harbor on a warm summer day, this is my tenth favorite image of Marblehead in 2020.
