Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Boston’s newest visitor. Swampscott/Nahant’s favorite Right Whale. Full photo shoot.

I awoke Sunday morning to the realization that the thermometer was actually reading -9 degrees, BELOW ZERO. I knew this could mean sea smoke, a phenomenon that occurs to this extent, maybe once or twice a year. By the time I bundled up to head out to photograph this, the temperature was now -7 degrees, below zero. I went to Winthrop shortly before sunrise. Below is what I saw.InstaCOLD003
