My Top 10 of 2022 countdown begins with this image captured on January 8 and will continue weekdays until December 30th followed by the annual New Years Day slideshow of every image captured and shared in 2022.

The final entry in a top 10 list is always the toughest. This year I recruited my kids to help narrow down the selection but found myself moving this one up to that tenth spot enough times that I had to include it. Captured at 4:28pm, there is just something about this image that keeps drawing me back to it. The soft pink sunset is perfectly reflected in the calm water of Marblehead Harbor. The two moorings capped with snow balance with the snow across the way at Chandler Hovey Park and serve to break up the foreground while also drawing the viewer’s eye to pick up the snow on moorings further into the scene. And then there is that warm glow of light from a house on the Neck.

For the calm beauty of a winter sunset over Marblehead Harbor, ‘Snow-Capped Sunset’ is my tenth favorite image captured in 2022.
