So the theme for the week appears to be ‘making do when the weather doesn’t quite cooperate’…

Got up before dawn hoping to capture the full moon setting. I had two spots in mind – the public way at Parker Lane or the end of Harvard Street. As I drove, the sky seemed to hold promise but when I arrived at Harvard Street, I spotted a very small bank of clouds hanging behind Abbot Hall. There was a section that seemed to thin out and I stood there hoping for a few breaks to allow the moon to shine through but this was the best I could get.

Still, a bad moonset in Marblehead is not a bad way to start the day…
