Stunning November Light Creates Painterly Boats in Vineyard Haven Harbor

2011-11-09T23:03:34-05:00

Tuesday, November 7 was a beautiful day on Martha's Vineyard, and Vineyard Haven harbor in particular. I rowed out into the harbor in a dingy and let the current take me where it wanted and shot some of the remaining boating still sitting on moorings. Every day there are fewer boats and soon just the hardy, wooden, stay-out-all-winter boats will remain. Click on the photos below to get a truer sense of how incredible the November light really was.
