Another beautiful sunset on Thursday

My View of Life on the Dock

What an incredible sunset on Tuesday.


A couple of photos from Monday as it was blowing, high tides, and rain. You can see from the Magnolia Pier photo that making the pier 2 feet higher it will protect our beloved pier. The waves off Kettle Island were very impressive.

Love how the sunset actually starts to change from beginning to total darkness.




After the recent October Nor’easter, we lost an over 40 foot Oak Tree that actually split in two and went over to our neighbor’s driveway. What a mess. Yesterday Mayer Tree and Magnolia Tree came and did an amazing job cutting and cleaning up trees. Photos are not so good due to the rain but amazing how careful these tree workers are.


On Monday about 2 hours before high tide, went by the Magnolia Pier. You can see how sturdy the pier is built and being 2 feet higher will make a huge difference when we have storms.


Gloucester Harbor look so cold on Thursday afternoon and Annisquam from Washington Street.

Even though the weather has been great for working on The Magnolia Pier, the progress is moving along. Yesterday the workers looked so cold but they kept on working.


Here was my question: Anyone know what this is called, it is a Meteorology term? Happens when it is very cold outside and it looks like a tanker that hovers over the ocean? Thanks
Catherine Hull was able to answer my questions. It’s an optical illusion. “The phenomenon is called a Fata Morgana mirage, and involves a complex trick of the light. Caused by a narrow band of light above the horizon, the Fata Morgana gives the impression an object is actually floating above the water. The mirage distorts an object, and can occur on land, sea, polar regions and deserts.”
My winter obsession, sunsets. Even though it was cloudy, rainy and snow showers on Tuesday, about 4:30 looked out the window from the gym and the sky looked like was on fire. AMAZING…

Cold and windy but the sunset over Coolidge Point was beautiful. The house on the point always looks so interesting.

Pretty reflections at Little River

The clouds and sunset on Friday evening was impressive.

Late afternoon light at Masconomo Park.

Got down to Magnolia Landing after sunset but was not disappointed.
