The Great Marsh

[Wicked Dark]

Apparently the largest saltmarsh in New England is in Salisbury, MA where my husband was running a 5k today. I went along to see what the marsh was like. I took the Old Eastern Marsh Trail for a bit and here's two that bookend pretty well together -





I had the totally wrong shoes for slopping around in the slush (it was 55 dF today - weird!), but I had fun anyway. I wish there were more trails there, but I don't think there are in the interests of preserving the habitat. If you google earth it though, you can see strange straight lines where I think they dug irrigation channels for the saltmarsh hay that was harvested here in the 18th century.

Both excellent Imaged WD..the colouring against the sky for shot 1 is awesome as well as the detail in the grasses and the reflection in shot 2 is seriously sweet!
Very well done on both counts!

thanks much. they're a bit different from traditional snow images, but I think I have some of those, too.

Took the words right out of my mouth! I'll add in that I love the blue sky in both!

Nice. As was said, the contrast in both shots is very well balanced. Very well executed WD.
