Dancing Waves at Flirtation Rock https://wednesdaysinmhd.com/2018/03/06/dancing-waves-at-flirtation-rock/ After exploring the causeway, Front street and the Landing, I made my way to a favorite spot on Surf Street looking down at the small cove bordered by Flirtation Rock and Bass Rock. This is a great vantage point for watching waves crashing against the sea wall and I took plenty of shots of that. However, as I watched one wave recede from the wall and meet another oncoming wave, the sheer power of the two met in the middle to create explosions of water. The small cove seemed to come to life with these dancing waves that reached incredible heights above the surface. With this shot, the waves had reached their peak height while the structure of the clouds was illuminated by diffused sunlight. From the bit of water still falling from the sea wall to the distant explosion of crashing waves and the hint of Flirtation Rock seen in the middle, this became an instant favorite image of the storm. #Ocean, #PrestonBeach, #Storm, #SurfStreet, #Waves #Marblehead

Sunrise at the Sun Circle https://wednesdaysinmhd.com/2017/11/10/sunrise-at-the-sun-circle/ I mentioned in Monday's post that I had spent more than a half hour at the beach from dawn to sunrise exploring compositions and enjoying the unusually warm late October morning.  Well after the golden color had left the morning sky and I had captured the sun rising over Ram Island, I finally made my way back up Atlantic Avenue. Before leaving, I decided to walk a few steps to the sun circle and see how the rising sun lined up with the spires found there.  As it happened, the positioning of the sun was nearly perfect and the morning light could be seen reflecting in the central circle as well.  I chose a vertical composition to include the high clouds and color in the late morning sky. #PrestonBeach, #SunCircle, #Sunrise #Marblehead

Golden Dawn at Preston Beach https://wednesdaysinmhd.com/2017/11/06/golden-dawn-at-preston-beach/ A couple of weeks ago, an unbelievable dawn erupted in the sky over Marblehead.  I left the house as the purple light hit its peak and made a beeline for Preston Beach hoping to catch some of the magical color in the clouds.  By the time I parked and got out of the car, the purple had disappeared but, a minute or two later, a golden color exploded overhead. I quickly composed this image to capture as much of the golden dawn as I could.  With the calm ocean and few waves, the wet sand only served to accentuate the color and even the dry sand took on some of the morning color. I spent more than a half hour at the beach that morning capturing the dawn, then a sunrise near Ram island (I shared that soon after returning home) and another shot that I'll finish off the week with.  It was a nice way to start the day. #Clouds, #Dawn, #Ocean, #PrestonBeach, #Sand #Marblehead
