Spring Sunrise from Hammond Park

With yet another snowstorm predicted to hit Marblehead in the next few days, I decided to head out early on Sunday morning to capture some storefronts for my Keep it Local series. I checked the forecast the night before and was hoping for the best with the 'partially cloudy' conditions that were predicted. As I left the house at 5:45am, the first hints of light appeared and I saw some impressive streaks of clouds. I only hoped that the clouds would hold their shape and be angled correctly when I reached the harbor. As I drove, I continued to watch [...]

The Working Boats and Abbot Hall

It had been exactly one month since I last went out to capture images in Marblehead. And so, around sunset, I decided to head out and see if the clouds that had built up over the past few hours might lead to a decent sunset. I drove across the causeway and looked back only to find the sky too overcast to let through much light. The clouds over the harbor had some interesting structures though so I crossed and headed down to the water at Riverhead beach. I walked along the water so that I could place some distance between [...]

Marblehead Harbor on a Foggy September Morning

Happy St Patrick's Day from Wednesdays in Marblehead! I scoured the 'to be posted' archive for images containing green (a color we haven't seen in months during this cold long winter). My eye was drawn to this view of Marblehead Harbor taken from the public way at the end of Peabody Lane. On this particular morning, a light fog had rolled in as I moved from one location to the next capturing images of Marblehead Harbor. As you can see, this one includes a nice vibrant patch of green grass and bushes thus making it an easy choice for this [...]

Warm Sunrise over Marblehead Harbor

With yet another polar vortex threatening to bring temperatures down to below zero, I thought it fitting to bring this warm sunrise over Marblehead harbor out from the archives. This image was taken on August 3, 2013 at 5:41am from Crocker Park. Enjoy a few minutes of warmth in front of your screen before heading out this morning to brave the cold weather.

Pink Sunset for Valentine’s Day

The February full moon (named the Snow Moon - how appropriate) was due to rise on Friday night coinciding with Valentine's Day. I was scheduled to work until 4pm and decided to throw my camera bag and tripod in the car so that I could try to get a shot of the moonrise before meeting my family for a romantic dinner at Gourmet Garden. As I drove home, I noticed clouds building and hoped they wouldn't block my view of the moonrise. Based on the projected path of the full moon, I decided to head straight to Crocker Park for [...]

Early Summer Evening over Marblehead Harbor

As this post goes live, we should be seeing the first flakes of an expected 10-12" snowfall on this early February day. I couldn't make up my mind about whether to share an image of snow or sun this morning and turned to my Facebook page for advice. The response surprised me with a nearly even split. In the end, the thought of being transported (if only for a moment) to a warmer day won out and I decided to share this image taken on June 3, 2013 at 7:18pm. So almost exactly 4 months from now, it's a warm [...]

Calm Morning – Marblehead Harbor in the Blue Hour

On Saturday, February 1st, I woke early so I could drop off my son at the YMCA snowboarding/skiing trip to Nashoba Valley. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I had thrown my camera bag and tripod in the car and, after dropping him off at 6:45am, drove in search of good light. I watched the clouds as I drove and decided to shoot from the overlook at the end of Chestnut Street where it meets Cliff Street but the view wasn't quite what I had in mind. I quickly jumped back in the car and drove [...]

Winter Sunset over Marblehead Harbor

I already shared one image from this sunset that took place on January 15th. That view showed an explosion of color over Devereux Beach as seen from the causeway linking Marblehead and the Neck. Fifteen minutes before that shot was taken, I had been standing across the causeway trying to capture the last light of this Winter sunset over Marblehead Harbor. The scene was calm and beautiful with a lone sailboat still (still!) in its mooring and soft ripples of water reflecting the pastel colors of the Winter sunset. I thought this would be my favorite shot of the night [...]

Passing Boats in Marblehead Harbor

Last week's exercise of bringing out photos that were in the archive was so much fun, I thought I would do the same for this week. This image was captured on September 19, 2013 as I waited for the Harvest Moon to rise over Marblehead harbor. I had happened upon a singular opportunity to photograph the rising moon from atop a house overlooking the harbor and wasted no time in capturing images as soon as I climbed up to the roof and saw this view laid out before me. The harbor had been relatively still (though full) when I first [...]

A Late Summer Day on Marblehead Harbor

I don't know about you but this Winter is getting old quick. Between the snow, blizzard conditions and days on end that stayed below the freezing mark, this has the feel of a very long Winter...and it's only mid-January. The mini 'warm up' these past two days has only left me thinking of Summer even more. I decided to look back in the archives for some warm images and wanted to share this one today. First, the specifics - this image was taken on August 16 at 7:25pm. I can't imaging light at 7:30pm but I can definitely feel the [...]
