In Rodanthe, there's what seems to be an abandoned amusement park, "Waterfall Park." With names for tracks like "Grand Prix," "Outlaw," and "Free Fall," it reminds me of the many amusement parks on the Outer Banks when I started coming here in 2000...many of which are now closed.

Beautiful beach at Kill Devil Hills, where the Wright Brothers first flew. The wind here is constant.

The challenge was to take something from inside to the outside. The obvious was to take an object from in the house and photograph outside. I really liked the case shadow of this glass perfume flask on the concrete. The image reminds me of a UFO and outer space. Textures are my own.

The plot elements of this 1950's space adventure "Star Born" have been used, some would say abused, so many times it could be employed as a template for a course in Writing Your Own SF Novel. The genius of Andre Norton is her knack for taking a standard SF planetary adventure and infusing it with solid characters and so many unusual plot escapades you can't resist turning the page to see how it all turns out.
We start with exiles from a warring Earth founding a colony on Astra a habitual planet somewhere in outer space. The exiles find scattered throughout their immediate area of settlement-abandoned cities, remnants of a prior civilization apparently destroyed in an atomic war. A deep distrust of technology and fear of weapons caused the exiles to avoid visiting the cities of "Those Others" as the natives are called. In addition to developing city destroying weapons "Those Others" bred a race of mermen - folk who can live both on land and under water. The mermen revolted against "Those Others" and eventually form an alliance with the exiles. What starts out as an exploratory expedition by a pair of merman-exile youths turns into a quite entertain and exciting novel when "Those Others" team up with a new expedition from Earth to reclaim some of there ancient technology.
Norton usually wrote several novels using the same background and plot highpoints. "Star Born" (1957) was no exception. A prior novel, "The Stars are Ours" (1954) detailed the story of the exiles while on Earth and during their landing on Astra. Although book 2 "Star Born" leaves several plot points unresolved Norton never wrote any more books in this series.
