Pamlico Sound

This image was captured at the Oregon Inlet on the NC Outerbanks in December of 2015. It features the iconic Bonner Bridge, one of the more famous bridges in North Carolina. This was an impromptu trip that I undertook hoping to catch a sight of Comet Catalina that was gracing our skies at the time. That trip turned out to be one of the best trips I have ever undertaken as I encountered perfect conditions for photography every single day over the 3 day period I was there.

This image is a blend of 2 images to bring out some detail in the foreground rocks. This composition appealed to me since the foreground rocks form a natural line to lead the viewer's eyes to the bridge and the clouds above. The clouds on this day were assuming various familiar shapes with the one captured here taking the shape of a bird in flight. 

This particular stretch of the shoreline is very peaceful to walk along. Since it's an inlet, the waves are extremely calm unless it's windy. There are several sand dunes to the left of this image that ultimately would lead you to the proper coast and the ocean. 

Update, 2020: This bridge is being dismantled and replaced with a newer bridge. Bonner Bridge has a lot of history tied to it and while it's sad to see it go, I feel fortunate to have captured part of this history personally.

Thank you for stopping by and for the support.

If you like a quite vacation spot, then Ocracoke Island is a cool place.  It is only accessible via ferry; but once there, there are some good restaurants and some great places to watch the sunset on the harbor.
