Grounded on Fisherman’s Beach

Here is another image from my wanderings on Wednesday, March 2nd. I shared an image from my last stop - Castle Rock - yesterday. This image was from the middle of my journey chasing some great light after a rainstorm. I had been shooting at Doliber Cove under cloudy skies when the light finally broke through and I manage to get a few shots I was pleased with. Having done so, I walked back to the car which was parked across the street from this spot. My eyes quickly snagged on the bright orange boat grounded on Fisherman's Beach and I [...]

Brown’s Island Engulfed in Smoke

After sharing some relatively warm images this week, I thought I would go back to February 14 and the arctic conditions that made for an incredible display of sea smoke. I finished shooting from Fort Sewall toward Marblehead Light and ducked back into my warm car to make the short trip over to Doak's Lane. From there, I shot Gerry Island and then Brown's Island engulfed in smoke. As a relative newcomer to Marblehead (we moved here in 2008), I don't think I'll ever lose the sense of awe I feel when seeing smoke rising from the ocean.

Gerry and Brown’s Islands under a Cloud Filled Sky

As the unofficial last week of Summer comes to a close (school starts next week!!!), I wanted to share an image that might transport you to a warm and happy place. This image of Gerry and Brown's Islands was taken on Wednesday, August 5th at 2pm. While I tend to shoot in the early morning hours or much later in the day, I decided to head out when I spotted cumulous clouds in the sky for just this type of image. Shooting in mid-day can be harder with harsh light and no shadows but, with the right amount of clouds [...]

A Blanket of Snow over Marblehead

Yesterday I got my first sunburn of the season (a mild one thankfully) and also realized that the vivid memories of this past Winter's snow had started to fade. It's amazing what a few warm days will do to the human mind and psyche and likely explains why we all continue to live here year after year. As a former resident of Los Angeles (13 years), I can tell you I wouldn't have it any other way. With that being said, the warm days seemed to clear the way to share some images of snow that I had not had [...]

A Bright Day Ahead at Brown’s Island

On Wednesday, February 25th, I met up with a photographer from Maine whose work I greatly admire and showed him around the Town of Marblehead. The sky was a boring (but welcome) bright blue and the tide was low so I decided to walk across Little Harbor to Brown's Island. We captured a few photos of the pancake ice that lined Brown's Island and then trudged through the deep virgin snow to this vantage point. I decided to compose this image to include both Marblehead Light as well as Children's Island. The sun was high overhead and I caught 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 [...]

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 [...]

Full Moon over Brown’s Island

Today's image comes from July 2013 when I headed out to capture the full moon (aka buck moon) rising over Brown's island. This marks the 38th image of a full moon shared on my website. On this particular outing, the moon remained mostly hidden behind a layer of haze. This image was the best capture of the full moon as it rose over the tree at Brown's Island and as a sailboat passed in the distance. The moon has been such a common theme that I have devoted an entire gallery to images including the moon as an element. You [...]

Brown’s Island Covered in Snow

Still in the archives but moving a bit closer to the present day with this image from January 3rd, 2014. I had gone out at high tide after the Nor'easter / Blizzard swept through. After capturing the impressive power of the waves crashing against the causeway and at Devereux Beach, I made my way out to Little Harbor and stopped along Beacon Street where I was awed by the level of the water at high tide. You can see the ledge and ladder on the left of the image and, if you have seen it during normal tides, might appreciate [...]

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.
