Morning Swan in Marblehead Harbor

I went out this morning as another arctic blast hit Marblehead with temperatures in the single digits (7F to be exact) before the wind chill pushed that to -10 or so. I had hoped for a chance to shoot sea smoke from Fort Beach but was dismayed to see a harbor devoid of steam and little else to shoot. Just as the dawn ended, I spotted three swans swimming in Fort Beach. I quickly grabbed the camera and ran to the stairs leading down to the water as the swans approached. I captured this morning swan in Marblehead harbor with [...]

Sea Smoke in the Harbor – Corinthian and Marblehead Light

Back to the incredible display of sea smoke in Marblehead Harbor that took place on January 8, 2015. This image was captured on my first round at Foster Street (I would come back after capturing the sun rise at Castle Rock before racing to work). I had just photographed the sea smoke in the harbor with a purple sky over Abbot Hall and turned to find the sea smoke was even thicker looking out toward the Corinthian Yacht Club with Marblehead Light towering behind it. The wind was moving the sea smoke off the water and it took a few [...]

Cotton Candy Sky over Marblehead Harbor

I've shared two other images from this incredibly pink sunrise that took place in March of 2014. In this image, the color of the sky and character of the clouds combined to form what looked like a cotton candy sky over Marblehead Harbor.

Sunlight through the Windshield at Little Harbor

This image comes from a dawn photo shoot in early October. I had decided to shoot in the area around Little Harbor on this particular morning as I had noticed a few trees starting to show their Fall colors. Though the trees were far from peak, the combination of morning light and clouds added up to a strong outing. At this point, the sun had risen high enough to cast its light over Brown's Island. The small boat had rotated so that the sunlight could be seen shining through the windshield and I captured this image to include the boat [...]

Historic Marblehead and Harbor from Atop Abbot Hall

I mentioned in yesterday's post that a combination of luck, circumstances and a commission to document the effort to restore Abbot Hall led me to the top of the scaffolding surrounding the building in November. While I spent much of my allotted time photographing details of the work, I couldn't help but take in the incredible views of historic Marblehead and harbor from atop Abbot Hall. This is my favorite view from this once-in-a-lifetime vantage point with all of historic downtown captured in a single frame. The harbor and Marblehead Light can be seen in the distance as can many [...]

A Marblehead Christmas

When I first spotted this little dinghy in Little Harbor with a Christmas tree in it, I knew I had to find a way to capture this perfect representation of a Marblehead Christmas. I scouted out the location and decided that I really needed snow and/or lights on the tree and Marblehead Light in the distance to complete the scene. As luck would have it, we received some ocean-effect snow flurries on Saturday, December 20th and I rushed out to Little Harbor. Unfortunately, the lights in the tree had shorted during a recent storm and those on Marblehead Light seem [...]

From the Rooftops – The Corinthian, Harbor and Boston Skyline

This image comes from a trip to the top of Marblehead Light on July 2nd during the semi-annual stringing of the holiday lights. I have shared a few images from this location but hadn't yet shown this one which features the Corinthian Yacht Club with a pool filled to capacity, Marblehead Harbor with boats as far as the eye can see and, in the distance, the Boston skyline.

Full Moon over Fort Beach

It's hard to believe that I haven't shot the full moon rising in Marblehead since this image captured in mid-July. Weather is mostly to blame with many of the full moons having been hidden behind thick cloud cover over the past few months. However, with most full moon risings, I have tried to capture the scene from more than one perspective. On this night, I had managed to get the moon placed perfectly over Marblehead Light and then walked down to Fort Beach while there was still enough light in the sky to capture this wider view including the boats [...]

Thankful to Live in such a Beautiful Town

With Thanksgiving upon us, it is time to give thanks. Wednesdays in Marblehead began in August 2010 as a personal project through which I hoped to learn more about this town that we had recently moved to. From the start and to this day, I have taken images for myself. Every single photo captures a moment in which I went out in search of something new to explore in this relatively small town. I am so thankful that we moved here in 2008 and that this project has been so welcomed by Marbleheaders new and old. A quick check on Google [...]

Warm Summer Mornings on Marblehead Harbor

As the days get shorter and colder, it's nice to look back and remember these warm Summer mornings on Marblehead harbor. This image comes from an outing in late-August. I shared a similar image from this set when I first captured it. In that one, the sun had risen and the green light atop Marblehead Light had extinguished. The difference in the two images (taken 3 minutes apart) is pretty amazing. Here is the other for comparison:
