Cormorant rock Archives - Wednesdays in Marblehead

The Red Glow of Dawn

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I had gone out in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday morning hoping to shoot a unique composition of Abbot Hall, Old North Church and the new St. Michael's steeple lined up in a row. As I set up for that shot, I kept glancing over my shoulder watching the sky grow brighter and brighter as the red glow of dawn bloomed behind Cormorant Rock.

I took a few pictures of Marblehead Bell and Cormorant Rock as the light of the rising sun filled the sky with shades of orange and red. I had actually turned back towards town when the sun finally rose and only noticed it by the strong reflection of light coming off the houses across [...]
