Stunning Photo from Barbara Hoag Sullivan

Posted on by Nichole S.

I have been meaning to share this absolutely stunning photo from Barbara Hoag Sullivan (with her permission) for some time now. She took this photo several weeks ago and I feel in love with it immediately. She shared it recently on the wonderful “I Love Gloucester” facebook page as well. How blessed are we to have views like this at our doorsteps. No filters here….just simple beauty on a foggy day.
