Thinking about the folks on the Outer Banks tonight, as Hurricane Dorian causes massive flooding on the low-lying islands. And of course, the Bahamas, where the devastation is even worse.

Currituck Beach Lighthouse
Corolla, North Carolina
This is the northernmost of three major lighthouses on the Outer Banks of North Carolina; the others are Bodie Island and Cape Hatteras. Unlike the other two, the tower of Currituck Beach lighthouse is the natural color of the red-orange bricks, which I quite like -- particularly in warm sunlight. All three lighthouses were among the many venues of the Outer Banks Photography Workshop (Randall Sanger Photography & John Deas Photography).
Currituck Beach Lighthouse was begun in 1873 and its first-order Fresnel len was first lit December 1, 1875. The tower includes about one million bricks, it's walls tapering from about 5.5 feet thick at base to about 3 feet thick at top. It is about 150 feet to the top of the brick tower and 162 feet to the top of the lantern room, with a 158 foot focal plane. There are 214 stairs to the catwalk below the lantern room; I made the climb three years ago (photos in North Carolina album), but not this time. Still an active U.S. Coast Guard aid to navigation, the lighthouse has been automated; its grounds are now owned by Outer Banks Conservationists; the nonprofit organization spent about $1.5 million over three decades to restore the lighthouse complex, including two keepers' houses. Currituck Beach Lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 (73001333); boundary increases in 2000 changed the listing to Currituck Beach Lighthouse Complex.

I just got back from a weeks vacation in Corolla on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Had a great time with some of my brothers and sisters.
I was able to break away a few times to take some photos. This was taken along a nature trail that ran along the shores of Currituck Sound. There were several nesting platforms for the Osprey to use along the trail. I just wish I had found this earlier than Friday.
We got a good view looking across the St. Joseph River from the south pier to the north pier's outer light. The view of this light had been blocked by the pier's inner light when we were over on that side. The outer light had a lot more ice. Somebody was taking pictures of it with a drone. I'm probably on somebody's drone footage.
For the Macro Mondays Theme: Wear and Tear
Thank you for your time, faves and comments, it's much appreciated
Happy Macro Mondays
The Outer Limits (1963) and The Twilight Zone (1959) two classic TV shows that used high contrast and low key lighting to add drama and suspense to the story.
Jellyfish. Outer Bay exhibit. I have too many photos of these. I'll try to cull them down to a just below monotonous amount. Although, this one sums up the experience pretty well.
You all helped to eventually pull this shot into Explore for 6/22/07. Thanks everyone.
Alone in the moonlight
Heading for nowhere
Gone is the solar glare
Don't follow me here tonight
Unafraid
Every mile
You fade
There are no delays
I wont look back
Run away, far away
Run away, fly away
Oh so quiet here
Caught in the milky way
Bound by the cosmic ray
I could just disappear
Time will slow
No more earth below
Another day to go
I wont look back
Run away, far away
Run away, fly away
Run away, far away
Run away, fly away
Needing to find my place
Something just feels wrong
Knowing I don't belong
Escaping to outer space
Run away, far away
Run away, fly away

Another night another September Sunset so we are off to Hope Cove and this Outer Hope rather than Inner Hope, looking towards Burgh Island with the sun shining on the small sandy cliffs.
This ship started as table scraping (The treads as engines) plus that spoiler part. Then I saw the black windscreen an it's reverse, and the ship came together. It's a much different style than my normal Blacktron 2 MOCs, but in a good way, I feel.
