The Base of Marblehead Light

The Base of Marblehead Light

We enjoyed a perfect weekend in Marblehead these past few days with warm temperatures, occasional clouds and enough activities in town to keep everyone busy. As Sunday evening rolled around, I decided to head out and try to photograph the sunset in part to capture this moment. I drove across the causeway and ended up at Chandler Hovey Park as I chased the light breaking through clouds.
