On Sunday morning, I awoke just after 5am and decided to make the most of that with a photo outing at the State Street Landing. I had checked sunrise location and times and thought I read that the sun would cross the horizon at 6:20am. Given that, I drove out early and arrived at State Street to find a slowly developing yellow-orange glow of dawn’s early light.

The light had a great effect on the still waters of Marblehead Harbor but, within minutes, had disappeared leaving a mostly grey view. I waited and waited but did not see signs of the sunrise and rechecked the app only to realize I had looked at sunset times. I waited a bit longer and, sure enough, I was treated to a very nice sunrise just before 7am.

It was a nice surprise to get two very different colors on Sunday morning and I definitely took advantage of the later one to shoot more than a few slightly different compositions. Those may have to go in the ‘to be posted’ folder for now…
