Is there a better site than Marblehead Harbor filled with boats? While the harbor can be beautiful in the Winter as well, there really isn’t any comparison to the view of boats taking up every last mooring. And if you happen to catch a nice Summer sunset, then that scene is just about perfect.
This image was taken in mid-August from Marblehead Neck looking back toward the harbor. The temperature had been a very comfortable 72 degrees with light winds and I actually had to time this shot just right for the brief gusts that would bring the American flag on the near dock to life. One of those gusts happened to coincide with the peak of sunset’s colors (nice how that sometimes works out) and I came away with this final scene to share.
