Beaufort

is nestled safely among North Carolina’s southern Outer Banks.  Its surrounding coves and waters (Newport River to the north, Gallants Channel to the west, and Taylor’s Creek to the south) enable carefree navigation by ship and boat to any destination in the area.  These creeks and waterways empty out into the Atlantic Ocean and one of America’s very few southern-facing coasts.  Locals are universally proud of their ability to watch both the sunrise and sunset over the blue horizon.  Read more…..

Oak Island, NC USA

Spring 2016

Here’s a collection from a late spring visit to Oak Island, NC.  The weather was moderate, ie. 70-80s with a constant 5-10 mph wind coming from the south.  The water was cool but not cold.  Most days provided beautiful sunsets but on occasion, a slight haze at the horizon prohibited great sunset colors.

Oak Island and its sister city, Southport, are beautiful small ocean side towns with plenty of opportunities for some great photography.
