Marblehead Harbor on a Foggy September Morning

Happy St Patrick's Day from Wednesdays in Marblehead! I scoured the 'to be posted' archive for images containing green (a color we haven't seen in months during this cold long winter). My eye was drawn to this view of Marblehead Harbor taken from the public way at the end of Peabody Lane. On this particular morning, a light fog had rolled in as I moved from one location to the next capturing images of Marblehead Harbor. As you can see, this one includes a nice vibrant patch of green grass and bushes thus making it an easy choice for this [...]

Warm Sunrise over Marblehead Harbor

With yet another polar vortex threatening to bring temperatures down to below zero, I thought it fitting to bring this warm sunrise over Marblehead harbor out from the archives. This image was taken on August 3, 2013 at 5:41am from Crocker Park. Enjoy a few minutes of warmth in front of your screen before heading out this morning to brave the cold weather.

Pink Sunset for Valentine’s Day

The February full moon (named the Snow Moon - how appropriate) was due to rise on Friday night coinciding with Valentine's Day. I was scheduled to work until 4pm and decided to throw my camera bag and tripod in the car so that I could try to get a shot of the moonrise before meeting my family for a romantic dinner at Gourmet Garden. As I drove home, I noticed clouds building and hoped they wouldn't block my view of the moonrise. Based on the projected path of the full moon, I decided to head straight to Crocker Park for [...]

Passing Boats in Marblehead Harbor

Last week's exercise of bringing out photos that were in the archive was so much fun, I thought I would do the same for this week. This image was captured on September 19, 2013 as I waited for the Harvest Moon to rise over Marblehead harbor. I had happened upon a singular opportunity to photograph the rising moon from atop a house overlooking the harbor and wasted no time in capturing images as soon as I climbed up to the roof and saw this view laid out before me. The harbor had been relatively still (though full) when I first [...]

A Late Summer Day on Marblehead Harbor

I don't know about you but this Winter is getting old quick. Between the snow, blizzard conditions and days on end that stayed below the freezing mark, this has the feel of a very long Winter...and it's only mid-January. The mini 'warm up' these past two days has only left me thinking of Summer even more. I decided to look back in the archives for some warm images and wanted to share this one today. First, the specifics - this image was taken on August 16 at 7:25pm. I can't imaging light at 7:30pm but I can definitely feel the [...]

Beaver Moon rising over Marblehead Harbor

I almost forgot about the full Beaver moon rising this weekend. I only realized it thanks to some timely Facebook posts by others and then quickly began scouting locations from which to capture the rise. The angles the the full moon takes seem to get tougher as we get into the Winter months and I ended up deciding to shoot from the Boston Yacht Club on this particular day. Though the moon was going to be full on Sunday, Nov 17, the conditions that night didn't seem to allow for a shot so I headed out on Saturday at 3:30pm [...]

Marblehead Harbor Filled with Boats at Sunset

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 [...]

Foggy Morning in Marblehead Harbor

I decided to share this image from a long photo shoot on a foggy morning in September for today's Friday post. It was taken from a unique spot/vantage point and I'm going to see if anyone can guess exactly where I stood when I took it. Leave your answer in the comments below.

November Sunset over the Causeway

We had some incredible sunsets to mark the beginning of November. Friday's was breathtaking but I had to resign myself to enjoy it from my car as I made it home too late to get the camera and still capture those amazing colors. Saturday was a good show in its own right but we had plans that trumped any hope of getting out to shoot...again. On Sunday night, I decided to go out no matter what. With the end of Daylight Savings Time, that meant leaving the house at 4:15pm and hoping that the plentiful clouds that had filled the [...]

Sunset Lights up the Boats in Marblehead Harbor

This past August featured some incredible sunsets that formed over Marblehead Harbor. I tried to capture as many as I could and was amazed at how much the colors would vary from day to day. This particular sunset took place on August 19th. I decided to shoot from the Pleon launch but, at the last minute, walked down to the float on the water to get a different vantage point. From this view at water level, the boats in Marblehead harbor took on a larger part of the composition and the light reflected deeper into the frame. I made sure [...]
