Foggy Sunset over Devereux Beach

November 27th was a special night as far as photography is concerned. It was the night that I captured a couple walking in the fog on the causeway - which has been one of my favorite (and most popular) images on the site*. As I headed out that evening aware of the coming fog, I first stopped at Devereux beach where the sunset was unfolding. I had never witnessed a foggy sunset before and the colors were truly remarkable. Enjoy this calm scene. *I have the photo of the lampposts in the fog printed (very) large and ready to show [...]

Feel the Waves at Devereux Beach

Nothing tells the story of this Winter better than this photo of waves coming to shore at Devereux Beach. It was early December and unusually mild on this Winter day. I had planned to shoot the lights at Old Town House but still had some daylight to kill so I headed down to the beach. I took a few images of the setting sun but couldn't resist turning the camera toward the ocean and photographing the coming waves. I got hit by a later wave and the cold brought me back to reality in a hurry but, for a minute, [...]

Marblehead Rowing Club

Today's planned Halloween-themed entry will be postponed due to snow. In its place, here is a warm picture to help you forget about those early flakes on the ground in October of all times! The Marblehead Rowing Club has a great mission statement: A community based rowing club located on the North shore of Massachusetts whose members share a love for salt water recreational rowing and the spirit of friendship between each other. The club took part in the Rotary Great Race several months ago with a course that ended at Devereux beach. I found this kayak lying on the sand after [...]

Keep it Local – Lime Rickeys

Mmmmm....Lime Rickey's. Nothing says Summer better than a chocolate chip frappe from Lime Rickey's when it opens its shop on Devereux Beach. I have yet to taste a better frappe on the North Shore and you really can't beat the location. Can't wait til Summer 2012!

Devereux Under the Stars

The final image from this week's series of shots taken under the light of the full moon. In this one, you can more clearly see the incredible amount of light put out by Boston which seems to mimic a sunset. The star trails are just discernible in the bluer section of sky.

The Lifeguard Chair at Midnight

Continuing with the 'Sometime Around Midnight' series, and returning to a personal favorite, here is the lifeguard chair at Devereux beach. I admit to a bit of an obsession with these chairs and had to include one in the midnight series. Again this was taken in the dark but the exposure took two minutes and thus was able to capture all available light. You can see the moon overhead and the stars streaking by. The yellow tint on the chair is from the lights on the causeway. The distant lights to the right are caused by the city of Boston [...]

Sometime Around Midnight

In the middle of August, I decided to try shooting areas around town under the light of the full moon. I started off around midnight and headed to Devereux Beach. My first image was of the swings and I shot as wide as I could to capture the moon above. With the long exposure (this is a 2 minute shot), the darkness of night is removed and you see a scene that looks a lot like a daytime view. If you look carefully, you'll see the streaking stars in the night sky. More midnight shots to come later this week.

Washing Ashore at Devereux Beach

I went to Devereux beach to explore the Rotary Great Race last weekend and, between activities, explored the beach. It was a beautiful end-of-Summer day and the ocean surf and color almost seemed like the Caribbean. I bent down and tried to angle the incoming surf to serve as a line leading out toward the Neck. The one rock in the foreground was just about to be engulfed by water and I liked this image which captured a bit of that tension leading up to the impending rush of water.

Sun Rays over Devereux Beach

We had an amazing final warm Summer day on Wednesday, Sept 14th so I ventured to Devereux beach with my wife and two kids. I captured images of my kids enjoying the sand and water and then saw an incredible scene developing to the south. I walked down to remove other beach-goers from the view and managed to get the incoming surf and amazing sun rays that erupted over the Goldthwait reservation and surrounding houses.

The Great Rubber Duck Race

We just spent a great four hours at Devereux Beach taking part in the Rotary Great Race. At the conclusion, a rubber duck race took place in an awesome pond built under the awning at Devereux. The ducks had a strong push from the wind and the gas powered wind blower. Here's a shot as the pink and blue ducks floated by the beautiful end-of-Summer day.
