Good Harbor Beach, 1930 Alice M. Curtis/©Fredrik D. Bodin
As summer takes hold and hot weather becomes the norm, I think of this photograph, taken at the Brier Neck end of Good Harbor Beach. It looks hazy, hot, and humid. Details of the Back Shore and Moorland Hotel are lost in the haze. Beach goers seek out the water and hide in the shade. The number of umbrellas makes me think they knew about the effects of too much sun.
