Cape Ann is located on the coast some 43 miles north­east of  Boston,  Mass­a­chu­setts. It includes the towns of Rock­port and Glouces­ter and is home of  The Sec­ond Annual Lob­sta Fest and Seafood Extrav­a­ganza! The pho­tos in this gallery were also shot in Essex, Mag­no­lia and Man­ches­ter by the Sea. Autumn in Mass­a­chu­setts may be the best in the coun­try. Some of my favorite loca­tions on Cape Ann are Plum Cove, Lanes Cove, Rock­port Har­bor, Glouces­ter Har­bor, Rocky Neck, Atlantic Road, Hal­ibut Point, Buswell Pond, Annisquam, Lob­ster Cove and Hoop Pole Cove. All of these loca­tions afford excel­lent photo oppor­tu­ni­ties. I would love to pho­to­graph Cape Ann in the win­ter but,  the weather is too unpre­dictable. So I will have to leave the win­ter pho­tos for my brother-in-law, Todd Har­ring­ton, of  Plum Cove Pho­tog­ra­phy, who lives in Gloucester.
