Outer Banks
The Outer Banks are a 200-mile-long (320 km) string of barrier islands and spits off the coast of North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, on the east coast of the United States. They cover most of the North Carolina coastline, separating Currituck Sound, Albemarle Sound, and Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic Ocean.
The Outer Banks are a major tourist destination and are known around the world for their wide expanse of open beachfront. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore has four campgrounds open to visitors.[1] The treacherous seas off the Outer Banks and the large number of shipwrecks that have occurred there have given these seas the nickname Graveyard of the Atlantic. The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is located in Hatteras Village near a United States Coast Guard facility and the Hatteras ferry.
The English Roanoke Colony—where Virginia Dare was born[2]—vanished from Roanoke Island in 1587. The Lost Colony, written and performed to commemorate the original colonists, is the second longest running outdoor drama in the United States and its theater acts as a cultural focal point for much of the Outer Banks.
The Wright brothers' first flight in a controlled, powered, heavier-than-air vehicle took place on the Outer Banks on December 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hills near the seafront town of Kitty Hawk.[3] The Wright Brothers National Monument commemorates the historic flights, and First Flight Airport is a small, general-aviation airfield located
The Outer Banks is a string of peninsulas and barrier islands separating the Atlantic Ocean from mainland North Carolina. From north to south, the largest of these include: Bodie Island (which used to be an island but is now a peninsula due to tropical storms and hurricanes), Hatteras Island, Ocracoke Island, Portsmouth Island, and the Core Banks.[4] Over time, the exact number of islands and inlets changes as new inlets are opened up, often during a breach created during violent storms, and older inlets close, usually due to gradually shifting sands during the dynamic processes of beach evolution.
The Outer Banks stretch southward from Sandbridge in Virginia Beach down the North Carolina coastline. Sources differ regarding the southern terminus of the Outer Banks. Generations of North Carolina schoolchildren have learned that the term includes the state's three prominent capes: Cape Hatteras, Cape Lookout, and Cape Fear.[5][6] Other sources limit the definition to two capes (Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout) and coastal areas in four counties (Currituck County, Dare County, Hyde County,and Carteret County).[7] Some authors include Carteret's Shackelford Banks and Bogue Banks in their descriptions,[7] while others exclude Bogue Banks.[8] Still other references restrict the definition to the northern three counties of Currituck, Dare, and Hyde.[9]
The abbreviations OBX (Outer Banks) and SOBX (Southern Outer Banks) are modern terms used to promote tourism and to market a variety of stickers, t-shirts, and other items to vacationers. OBX, which originated first, is generally used in the northern Outer Banks. SOBX is used primarily in Carteret County, which is also known as the Crystal Coast.
The northern part of the Outer Banks, from Oregon Inlet northward, is actually a part of the North American mainland, since the northern inlets of Bodie Island and Currituck Banks no longer exist.[10] It is separated by the Currituck Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway, which passes through the Great Dismal Swamp occupying much of the mainland west of the Outer Banks. Road access to the northern Outer Banks is cut off between Sandbridge and Corolla, North Carolina, with communities such as Carova Beach accessible only by four-wheel drive vehicles. North Carolina State Highway 12 links most of the popular Outer Banks communities in this section of the coast. The easternmost point is Rodanthe Pier in Rodanthe, NC .
The Outer Banks are not anchored to offshore coral reefs like some other barrier islands and as a consequence they often suffer significant beach erosion during major storms. In fact, their location jutting out into the Atlantic makes them the most hurricane-prone area north of Florida, for both landfalling storms and brushing storms offshore. Hatteras Island was cut in half on September 18, 2003, when Hurricane Isabel washed a 2,000 foot (600 m) wide and 15 foot (5 m) deep channel called Isabel Inlet through the community of Hatteras Village on the southern end of the island.[11] The tear was subsequently repaired and restored by sand dredging by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It was cut off once again in 2011 by Hurricane Irene. Access to the island was largely limited to boat access only from August to late October until another temporary bridge could be built.
Another cold morning here as autumn is starting to depart and winter closes in.
Dipped into the folder archives and found this one from March 25.
Thought I would post this abstract purple Crocus caught in a little spring ice storm to remind me that spring is not too very far off.
Captured with iPhone and Olloclip edited on iPad in Snapseed, only with Brightness and Contrast adjustments, vignette and framing.
I also have been using the Pure camera app for most of my phone photos for a number of years. I like to mention that occasionally since I don't normally add it to my list of apps used on the image.

I took this photo in honor of my Father, who was a WWII U.S. Army Air Force Veteran, and to all of the Veterans who have and continue to serve our country.
Thank you to Wreaths Across America for providing the wreaths at the Veterans cemeteries across our country.
I used Oggle Hipstamatic to create a soft golden, serene feel to this image.
Merry Christmas and Peace to all.
A story night rolled in as the two men at the graveyard buried a man.
"Heard this guy was some weirdo with powers." said the one.
"Really? I heard he was a hero."
"A hero? Man.. people these days."
The two continued to bury. Then once done, put the grave down. It read Kaine Parker.
"Man, that name sounds familiar." said the one man.
"Come on, its pouring like hell out here. Can we please leave?"
The two hustled to the car, and drove away. Little did they know, the man was not dead. He was shot in the heart by the villain Carnage, and was left for dead. Millions were devastated to know a hero died. They now knew that heroes were not invisible. That was not the case with Kaine Parker.
He awoke with a sharp pain in his chest. He tried to feel it, but it seemed his hands were tied. He easily broke the bond, and felt his chest. He felt a hold and cringed. It hurt. A LOT.
Then he tried to comprehend where he was. He soon decided he was buried alive. He screamed and yelled but no one answered.
Time to break loose, he thought to himself.
He started digging, while dirt fell into his mouth. When he was finally free, and could feel the warm air again, he let out a cry. A cry, because everything he once had was lost. His name. His girlfriend. His life. Nothing was the same. He had to be someone... different. He couldn't go back to who he was... no that wouldn't do.
He got up, and wiped his pants. He had to be someone new.
You know... said the other. We could try my way of life.
He didn't think he had a choice. That's why he does what he does now. Only one thing matters in Kaine's mind. Casady has to die for taking his life away. He is no hero. Not anymore. Kaine settled for a new title. A villain. No. A vigilante, known as Demonic.

So that's my app for Kaine in Earth 2. I thought, what if Kaine was a anti-hero? I really like what i thought in my mind and made it. Hope you guys like it.
Trying out a new iPad app called Waterlogue that does a beautiful job simulating watercolor. Really like it so far.
