Let’s look at several pictures taken in Ocean City, Maryland over the past week between November 19th thru 25th. The big upcoming special event this week is the start of Winterfest of Lights. Most of this week was setting up for these light displays throughout Ocean City. On Thursday, November 21st was the official kickoff lighting ceremony at Northside Park.

Pictures around Ocean City

Even with the colder weather moving in, we always love our Ocean City beach and boardwalk. Less shops are open as we move further into the “second season”, but on a sunny weekend day, you will see some boardwalk shops open during the late morning and early afternoon hours. But nothing beats a less crowded walk on the beach or a bike ride down the boardwalk.

One special happening this past week was the Beaver Moon that appeared as a super moon, meaning it appeared larger and brighter than a normal full moon. It peaked on Friday, November 15th but its impact was still felt during Ocean City high tide hours, especially with some flooding of streets along the bayside in downtown Ocean City.

Another special picture this week was the large flock of cormorants we say along the Ocean City bayside. This are very social and fascinating birds who are found along our coastlines.

It was a beautiful week of varying sunrise pictures. And sometimes clouds only add to this attraction.
