Crowninshield road

Top 10 of 2022 – #9 Up Crowninshield Road

On November 6th, I headed out in the hopes of capturing the moon rising over Brown's Island but was met by unexpected cloud cover blocking any sign of the nearly full moon. As I watched, an incredible sunset began to form to the west and I considered leaving for a more comfortable location; one where I knew the compositional possibilities. But instead, I stayed and was treated to an unexpected sunset over Crowninshield Road. Since moving to Marblehead in 2008 and starting Wednesdays in Marblehead in 2010, I have never composed an image from this location facing toward Peaches Point. [...]

Up Crowninshield Road (first of five in a series from an unexpectedly great outing – longish post)

This was such a fun and unexpected outing that I wanted to share a bit about my thoughts leading up to and during this amazing shoot - this might be a bit long... So it is Sunday, November 5th and daylight savings time has just ended leading to what always feels like the longest day of the year. I had thought about shooting the moonrise in large part because the timing of the full moon on Tuesday night, while perfect in relation to sunset, would take place at 4:35pm while I was still at work. I hate most things about [...]

A Very Marblehead Christmas

Taking a quick break from my top 10 of 2016 countdown to wish everyone a very merry Marblehead Christmas (and happy Hanukkah which starts tonight as well).  On the morning of December 16, the air temperature was 2F and I had gone out to chase sea smoke.  I had a spot at Fort Sewall picked out as a backup option but first drove by a few spots to see if they offered better vantage points. As I drove along Beacon Street and glanced across Grace Oliver Beach and Dolliber Cove, I spotted a picture perfect Christmas Tree at the end [...]

Crooked Tree on Peach’s Point

I've been fascinated by this crooked tree on Peach's Point (or is it Peaches Point?) since moving to Marblehead in 2008.  The tree seems to be in such a precarious position along the ocean's edge and with only the thinnest of trunks to keep it upright. Meanwhile, the surrounding homes in this area of Marblehead are truly magnificent in stature and architecture thus serving to exaggerate further the oddity of this simple crooked tree. This image is another from the series captured last Wednesday and was taken only 15 minutes after yesterday's shot of the boat ramp.  The sun had [...]

Fall in Marblehead – Crowninshield Road

All of this week's images were captured over a few hours span on Sunday morning.  I had started out along Beacon Street hoping for a solid dawn and sunrise and having that wish fulfilled (more of those images next week). As the sun rose above the horizon, it began to light up the trees along Crowninshield Road and, in particular, one tree showing off its Fall colors.  With the expansive view of Doliber Cove and the orange color of this one tree lit up by the morning sun, the scene seemed to sum up Fall in Marblehead quite well.
