A Marblehead Christmas

When I first spotted this little dinghy in Little Harbor with a Christmas tree in it, I knew I had to find a way to capture this perfect representation of a Marblehead Christmas. I scouted out the location and decided that I really needed snow and/or lights on the tree and Marblehead Light in the distance to complete the scene. As luck would have it, we received some ocean-effect snow flurries on Saturday, December 20th and I rushed out to Little Harbor. Unfortunately, the lights in the tree had shorted during a recent storm and those on Marblehead Light seem [...]

Fog Rolls into Little Harbor

This image comes from an outing in mid-July and is the eighth shot I've now shared from this series. As you can see, the fog rolled into Little Harbor so that only the nearby trees could be seen with the subtle shape of a boat moored in the harbor just visible. Brown's Island is barely seen despite its close proximity.

Morning Light on Little Harbor

On Sunday, October 5th, I had set out early to capture images of the dawn and then made my way to a few locations in Marblehead showing early (and beautiful) Fall colors. I shared five images from this one hour photo shoot last week but have a few more in the 'to be posted' archive that I really liked. After parking on Beacon Street and surveying the scene of Little Harbor before me, I was a little disappointed in the clear sky and had little hope for the morning. I did notice a few subtle clouds high above but did [...]

Full Lot at Little Harbor

This photo comes from September 28 and a trip around town hunting for early signs of Fall foliage. I ended up at the landing near the Marblehead Lobster company and found the waters of Little Harbor still filled with boats and subtle colors on Gerry Island. Composed this image to include the full length of Gerry Island, Marblehead Light in the distance and the boat ramp leading into the water.

Dawn over Little Harbor

The last image for the week is also one of the very first I captured on this Sunday morning. I had parked along Beacon Street and saw this simple scene laid out before me of dawn over Little Harbor I have to admit that I didn't have much hope for a brilliant sunrise at the time with the heavy bank of clouds near the horizon but the clouds overhead did wonders for reflecting the morning light (images to be shared in the weeks to come). Hope you enjoyed the five images shared this week - all captured in the span [...]

Indian Summer in Little Harbor

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I had gone out on Sunday afternoon to scout foliage in town and to capture the feel of an Indian Summer that had come to Marblehead on this last weekend in September. I drove out along Beacon Street and glanced in my rearview mirror where I spotted the boats tied up in front of Brown's Island on this picture perfect day. After checking a few other spots including the view from Fountain Park, I made my way back to Beacon Street and this small outflow which offers a great view of Brown's Island and this [...]

Black Dog in Little Harbor

On Monday, July 21, dense fog approached Marblehead's shores and I decided to head out to capture a few scenes I had in mind. Rather than heading straight to Marblehead Harbor, I took West Shore Drive to Beacon Street and Grace Oliver Beach. I took a few photos there with Brown's Island barely visible through the gathering fog and then walked along Beacon Street to Harding Lane. There, I wandered down for a better view of Brown's Island and found Sadie. Sadie was jumping into the waters of Little Harbor after rocks being thrown by her owners. She would pine [...]

A Portrait of a Lobster Boat named Bertha

Shortly after capturing the first sunset of 2014 over Little Harbor which I shared yesterday, I turned and noted that the water in the harbor was acting like a giant perfect mirror. The lobster boat named Bertha was the only boat left in the harbor and I settled on this composition with the giant tree at Brown's Island in the background and the two buoys spaced a bit away from the boat so as not to interfere with the reflections in the water. Enjoy the weekend.

First Sunset of 2014 – Little Harbor and the Lighthouse

The New Year started off very nicely on Wednesdays in Marblehead. I shared my annual year end slideshow to a very warm reception and then found myself at Redd's Pond where I was a bit surprised to see so many kids on the ice either learning to skate or taking part in pick up hockey games. I shared a quick iPhone shot of that scene and must have triggered a fair share of memories as even more people seemed to identify with that image than the video. A bit later in the day, I brought my son to Redd's Pond [...]

Old Glory on the Fourth of July

I don't think anyone of our generation will forget where we were on the morning of September 11th. I have to admit to never quite understanding that concept when my parent's generation spoke of a similar feeling with JFK's assassination or seeing a man walking on the moon - but now it makes perfect sense. As today marks the 12th anniversary of that tragic day, I wanted to find an image that might serve well to counter the darker connotations of the anniversary. I looked in my archive and found this image taken on July 4th, 2013 before the sun [...]
