I mentioned in yesterday’s post that a combination of luck, circumstances and a commission to document the effort to restore Abbot Hall led me to the top of the scaffolding surrounding the building in November. While I spent much of my allotted time photographing details of the work, I couldn’t help but take in the incredible views of historic Marblehead and harbor from atop Abbot Hall.
This is my favorite view from this once-in-a-lifetime vantage point with all of historic downtown captured in a single frame. The harbor and Marblehead Light can be seen in the distance as can many of the church steeples in town.
This view reminded me of my Sunday Sunrise from atop Old North Church captured on New Years Day in 2012 and I thought it would be a perfect image to end the year on.
For the next week, I will have a countdown of my Top 14 images of 2014 and will conclude with the Year End Slideshow on January 1, 2015 at 7:00am.
