As you have hopefully been able to see, Wednesday October 23rd offered perfect conditions to capture peak Fall foliage in Marblehead. I started off at Tedesco, then drove over to Ware pond, headed up to the pond at Whittier Road and then came up on this scene on Beacon Street. I actually had stopped here for the flowers that line Beacon Street and tried to find a composition that would highlight the flowers against the great red and yellow hues of the trees in the distance that had reached peak Fall colors. As I moved further down to get a good angle on the elements, I wound up finding a different scene to capture.
Just a few short steps from the bed of flowers, two bushes formed a natural path that led over the bridge and toward the two trees with competing brilliant Fall colors of red and yellow in the distance. There ended up not being much left for me to do once I reached this spot other than change to a vertical orientation and try to do some justice to the beauty of this hidden Fall scene.
