Two Tales Of Cape Lookout: Tale #1 - Clouds

It's not super easy to get to Cape Lookout in October, when you're trying to shoot all of North Carolina's lighthouses in less than a week. The so-called ferry services take turns operating, so you have to ask around to find out whose day it is, and the crossing can be rough. But we did it - twice. The second time was made necessary by the thick overcast of our first visit. I'll post those shots later, and you'll agree it was well worth the second trip. Above is the view from the pier.

Fluffy-looking pines and the awesome black and white tower. Those diamonds are aligned north-south and east-west, as a navigational aid.

Lizards! Still a pain to try to shoot, and as cute as ever.

'Sup?

Okay, sometimes clouds are cool.

Big. Large. Grande.

Flora on the island. This is one of the few plants that wasn't 100% thorns and stickers.

Seagull pacing the ferry as we continued south.

Crazy bird. "Look, if you don't have and potato chips, get off my boat, apes."

Thanks for visiting!
