This image represents a picturesque street in Marblehead, Massachusetts on a warm and sunny late spring morning. A scene like this is very typical of New England, with picket fences and shuttered windows on clapboard houses lining the street. With a variety of colorful flowers bordering sidewalk it evokes a quaint and inviting feeling. The pink cherry trees added a colorful and element, as did the small details of the lamppost and the American flag. In the clear morning light the sun is quite strong, and the contrast and patterns provided by the sunlight and shadows across the winding road were what attracted me most.
