This is the fifth image shared from an outing on Tuesday, August 4th. I’ve already shared images of lightning and a sunset shot of boats in Marblehead harbor and have another image coming up on Thursday as well. It’s no wonder that the site grew quickly from a weekly post to daily ones…
On this day, storms kept passing through Marblehead including one at 4:30pm. With the intensity of rain and clearing skies behind it, I thought there might be a chance for a rainbow (though the sun wasn’t quite low enough in the sky yet). I quickly got in my car and drove towards Crocker Park figuring it would offer the best vantage point. I got out of the car just as the rain let up and hurried to the harbor’s edge. I spotted the rainbow immediately and headed down to the float for a view of Marblehead Light at the end of the rainbow.
