Beautiful sea smoke from Shore Road
Reblogged from Wikipedia:
Sea smoke, frost smoke,[1] or steam fog[2] is fog which is formed when very cold air moves over warmer water. Arctic sea smoke[3] is sea smoke forming over small patches of open water in sea ice.[4]
It forms when a light wind of very cold air mixes with a shallow layer of saturated warm air immediately above the warmer water. The warmer air is cooled beyond the dew point and can no longer hold as much water vapor, so the excess condenses out. The effect is similar to the “steam” produced over a hot bath or a hot drink, or even an exercising person

Congratulations to Powers Family Dental: 2024 expansion, a new location, and on being 4th-gen local legacy business right here in #GloucesterMA!
What an impressive family affair! Congratulations Dr. Powers and Dr. Powers 🙂 !
Powers Family Dental has moved from 26 Dale Avenue to 18 Dale Avenue. Dr. Conor Powers, Dr. Michael Power’s eldest child, has joined the practice and is as congenial, warm and fastidious as his father. What hasn’t changed? The wonderful staff and dental hygienists! Michael’s sister Gina Muniz and niece Candace Balboa also work at the office. The expanded practice features six gleaming exam rooms outfitted in comfort and style with the latest and innovative equipment, efficient dental chair tech, custom sound system, and imaging–the x-ray being the sole carry over from the prior digs.
The new headquarters is closer to Central Grammar, directly across from the post office, with plenty of windows and views. Parking is available on Dale Avenue plus there are a few spaces on the building lot. From Dale Avenue, the accessibility entrance integrates a classic New England architectural detail into its design: a sweet and safe bridge crossing walkway to the front door. More Power To You 🙂
“Walter Powers Sr. started the business in 1926 on Middle St. In 1957 Walter Powers Jr. joined and they moved to 26 Dale Ave. In 1999, Michael Powers joined at 26 Dale Avenue. On September 16, 2024 Conor Powers joined and the practice moved to 18 Dale Avenue.” – Candace Balbo
Michael Powers maternal grandfather, Reginald Courant, was also a dentist- on Middle Street!

Magnolia sea smoke. It’s worth taking a drive around the cape to see how pretty the water looks today.

Merry Annisquam Bridge Lights
Annisquam looks especially pretty with all the lights at this time of the year. I’m particularly drawn to the Annisquam Bridge and its lights. I checked out a little bit about the history of the bridge to learn it was originally built in the Civil War era and had a drawbridge section. It was completely rebuilt in the 1940s, closed to vehicular traffic in the 1960s. After rehabilitation it was re-opened for pedestrians in 1987. The things this bridge must have seen! Just up the street is the beautifully decorated Village Hall. It could be a holiday card.
