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 [...]

Marblehead Harbor Sunset

Back to the photo shoot on September 28 after yesterday's brief hiatus to capture scenes of Vermont's foliage. I explained in Monday and Tuesday's posts that I had gone out on Sunday to capture views of our Indian Summer. Well, after shooting around Little Harbor, I had made my way to Corinthian Lane hoping for a nice sunset. As the sun set below the horizon, I made my way down to the beach and captured this scene with boats still filling Marblehead Harbor. With the cold wet weather of the past two days, it's only a matter of time before the [...]

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 [...]

Indian Summer in Marblehead

This past Summer in Marblehead has to rank among the most perfect (weather wise) in a very long time. We had a mild June and July followed by a blast of heat and humidity at the end of August/early September and then the cool (but not too cold) days of late Summer/early Fall came. This weekend, though, brought back the warmth and humidity to stave off that Autumn and soon-to-be Winter chill for at least a few more days. While not meeting the technical definition of an Indian Summer in Marblehead (the Farmer's almanac states the warmth has to occur [...]

Harvest Moon and Marblehead Harbor

One more image from September 2013 to finish off this short week. With the Jewish New Year upon us, I will be taking a break from the site for the next few days. I have shared a wider image (and the full story) of how I came to be on a rooftop while the Harvest moon rose over a full Marblehead Harbor. You can read that story by clicking the image below. As the moon rose, I tried a number of compositions and liked this zoomed in view a lot but held off sharing it at the time as it [...]

Marblehead Harbor Bathed in Fog

Continuing with the look back at September, this image was taken on September 11, 2013. Marblehead was treated to dense fog on this particular morning and, rather than quickly dissipate after sunrise, the fog on this day stayed and stayed. I ended up shooting scenes of Marblehead Harbor bathed in fog from four different locations. As the sun rose, it added a beautiful orange light to the thick fog and, in this scene, you can make out a few boats in the harbor (and not much else) under the bright early morning sun.

Low Tide in Marblehead – Riverhead Beach

Continuing from Friday's introduction to this week's theme, here is the wider view of Riverhead beach. You can see the float that I had stood on for the earlier image in the center of the frame and hopefully appreciate just how low the tide had been to allow me to walk along Riverhead beach to the water's edge. From here, I had quickly returned to the causeway where I captured this image and then turned my attention to Devereux Beach... Come back tomorrow for that image.

Low Tide in Marblehead – Boats in the Harbor

This is the first in a series that will span all of next week exploring the area around the causeway during an incredibly low tide in Marblehead. I had gone out on Tuesday night as clouds had been building during the day and I was hoping for a repeat of the incredible light at sunset the night before (which I had watched from a window). As I headed out, I checked the tides and noted they were at very low levels in large part due to the recent 'super moon' that had just set that morning. I decided to drive [...]

Last Days of Summer in Marblehead

After capturing and sharing an iPhone image of yesterday's blue hour and overcast sunrise, I received a comment on my Facebook page that read "Feels like summer is gone". And, she was right. We just had our first near heat wave of the entire Summer that ended with an incredible lightning storm. I had actually gone out on this Sunday hoping for some great clouds and light as remnants of the atmospheric disturbance but ended up with a very muted sunrise. It did indeed feel like we were in the very last days of Summer in Marblehead. As it turns [...]

Waiting for a Ride in Marblehead Harbor

It's interesting to watch the traffic in Marblehead Harbor during the morning blue hour as the sunrise approaches. On this particular Sunday, I had gone out in hopes of interesting skies left over from the intense lightning storm that seemed to signal the end of Summer. While the scene before me was calm and peaceful, I quickly lost hope for a brilliant sunrise that would explode in colors over the harbor. Instead, as I waited on the light, I noted someone waiting at the end of a float at State Street landing. With the minimal light, I had to shoot [...]
