I set out on an adventure recently to capture images of the iconic North Carolina Cape Hatteras Lighthouse with the Atlantic Ocean playing a prominent role in the composition. Read more about my challenge and adventure HERE!

 

The Cape Hatteras Light is the nation's tallest brick lighthouse, at just under two-hundred feet. Located on the barrier islands of the Outer Banks off the mainland of North Carolina, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse has both an iconic daymark (striped diagonal white/black paint), as well as an iconic nightmark (strobe-like spinning beam of light). This photograph was taken from Old Lighthouse Beach where the historic structure once sat.
