On Sunday, June 16th, I decided to end Father’s Day with a photoshoot. I had noted the possibility of a good sunset and decided to head to Fort Sewall to explore possible images. I have photographed Fort Sewall on numerous occasions and in various conditions so the thought of finding a new composition in this relatively small area was the last thing I had expected. However, after descending a set of stairs, I looked back and found this scene before me.
The tree and its canopy perfectly placed over a trodden dirt path with boats carefully arranged on their moorings and Marblehead lighthouse across the harbor. The scene could not have been more perfect and I could not believe I had not seen it before. I set about getting my tripod in the right position and had to fight a bit of wind to get this just right.
This seemed like the perfect image to share today after the Marblehead Festival of Arts Champagne Reception took place at Fort Sewall last night and with the festivities of the Fourth of July ready to commence.
