Sunset over Inner Marblehead Harbor

As I waited for the moon to rise on Saturday night, I was treated to an unexpected sunset over inner Marblehead harbor. I had only checked weather and cloud forecasts as far as the moonrise was concerned and hadn't expected anything as beautiful as this sunset which spanned the inner harbor and causeway. I'm not sure if 'inner Marblehead harbor' is the right term for this area but was at a loss if a better nautical term existed. There were just enough boats moored in the harbor to add a needed element that broke up the water while also showing [...]

Hunter Moon over the Corinthian

Tonight's full Hunter moon was dubbed a supermoon for its proximity to Earth and larger than average appearance in the night sky. I had plotted out its projected rise from multiple locations in town but was hoping for a new composition rather than relying on a shot of it coming up against Marblehead Light. I had captured the moon rising over the Eastern Yacht Club once before and so I plotted the perfect spot from which to shoot theHunter moon over the Corinthian tonight. I set up at Crocker Park and shot the surprisingly nice sunset with views looking back toward the [...]

Sunrise over Marblehead Neck

Please read/share - updates on future postings Since starting Wednesdays in Marblehead in August 2008, I've shared over 1,500 images of this incredible town. For the past few months, I've felt my creativity dwindling and have begun to feel the need to keep up with daily postings as more chore than enjoyment. I know I still have much to explore but feel that to do so, I need to stop the daily morning postings (at least for now). For the foreseeable future, I plan to share a favorite image (or more) soon after an outing but the timing of those [...]

A New Dawn for a New Year

Today is Rosh Hashanah in the Jewish calendar and so I searched my archives for an image taken at dawn only to find that I hadn't taken one in quite some time. This shot was captured in September 2013 and, while I've been out at sunrise on a number of occasions this year, I haven't had the opportunity to shoot at dawn yet this Summer or Fall. I am hoping to correct the lack of dawn and sunrise images of our harbor in the days and weeks to come. In the meantime, I wish you a Shana Tova (Happy New [...]

Fighting the Current

This seemed like a good image to end the week on with rain in the forecast and with the crisp Fall air signaling the coming close of boating season. As an offshore storm sent crashing waves into Marblehead beaches and Castle Rock, the harbor offered some protection for boats moored within its borders. However, this one wooden sailboat perched near the mouth of the harbor was definitely fighting the current as whitecaps formed clear across the harbor. I'm not sure who owns this boat or even what class or type it might be but its clean lines and beautiful wooden [...]

Fire in the Sky

Tonight, I was fortunate to capture one of the most incredible displays of color and light as a fire in the sky marked one of the last sunsets of this Summer in Marblehead. I had missed out on last night's sunset and was jealous of the shots populating my Facebook and Instagram feeds. As sunset approached and the air picked up humidity, I decided to head out hoping for a decent showing. I drove across the causeway and stopped along Foster Street to assess the position of the sun in the sky. From there, I headed over to Corinthian Lane and [...]

Sunset Glow over Marblehead Harbor

The soft glow of sunset bathes boats moored in Marblehead Harbor. Image taken on August 27th and is the third image I've shared from this beautiful Summer sunset. *Photos will continue but descriptions may be sparse until Sept 28 as I am studying for the Allergy and Immunology Board exam which we need to take every 10 years

Last Rays of Light over Marblehead Harbor

Today's image comes from the end of August and a trip to the float at the end of the Pleon Yacht Club's pier. I had gone out in hopes of nice sunset colors as a mild storm developed after what had been an unusually dry and warm Summer. As the waters of Marblehead harbor were relatively calm, I tried my hand at shooting from water level and getting this unique view of boats moored in the harbor. As the sun dipped lower in the horizon, I composed this image to capture the last rays of light over Marblehead Harbor with [...]

The Float at Crocker Park

I was at Crocker Park at sunset during a high tide and couldn't pass up the chance to photograph the float beckoning people to enjoy Marblehead Harbor's waters on a warm Summer evening. The float at Crocker Park was taken in before the recent storm passed through town. Does anyone know if it was put back in place yet?

Sunset at Parker Lane

We were having a fairly quiet Saturday night and had little to eat in the house so orders were called in to Junji for sushi and Marblehead House of Pizza for a small pie. As I looked at the sky starting to pick up the first colors of sunset, I quickly volunteered to pick up the food and knew just the spot to spend the 15-20 minute wait while the food was prepared. Parker Lane is the first public way on Marblehead Neck as you cross the causeway and has become a go-to spot on many evenings. I pulled up [...]
