Don't Forget To Take Your OBX. Come On - It's Good For You!

Finally. In October, 2007 [Maris] and I took our first real vacation in over three years, and the first photo excursion with the digital camera. North Carolina's Outer Banks feature some of the east coast's largest and most accessible lighthouses. We started at the north end and worked our way south, finding photo ops galore and amazing seafood all along scenic Route 12. This post just covers our first morning. The first three shots are Currituck Beach Light in Corolla.

Oh, if you knew how long we stood here waiting for a tourist-free shot... You'd think we were odd, which we are, so that's cool.

Cupola!

If this little gem looks just a little too perfect, it kind of is. This is a replica of the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse, now residing in Manteo.

Bodie Island Light as seen from Route 12, nearly a mile away.

While considerably closer than a mile, we did have to stay pretty far away from the 165-foot tower in order to keep the whole thing in frame without going all wide-angle.

Starting to get a little wide-angle-y here, but it's okay. It's a very cool lighthouse.

Cupola!

Thanks for peeping - more stuff coming soon...
