Stripes Unlimited

I took this one late afternoon at the Atlantic Beach, NC. We were walking back from far end of the pier and I saw these shadows running along giving kind of interesting leading lines. I did not have tripod with me, but fortunately there was a bench every 30-40 feet and I just used it as my stable mounting base. The Sheraton Hotel, we use it a lot to come up here. Location is really good, with nice waves breaking around the pier, the pier itself is part of the property and I can use Points+Cash to stay at this place, which saves me a lots of dough. Next time when we go there I want to bring bikes and ride on the beach to Fort Macon State park, it is only about 4-5 miles away. Just need to plan it around low tide…

Into the Night

Imagine standing above the ocean and hearing waves crashing under you and behind you. A little wind blowing in your face, it feels warm and comfortable. That is how it was when I took this picture. The sky was dark without, no moon around, some fishermen trying to catch their breakfast in the far end of the pier, I could go there for a quick stroll every night of the year.

Atlantic Beach, NC

Nice place to spend beach vacation if you are not looking for overcrowded environment. It is not commercialized as beaches in Myrtle Beach SC or even areas around Wilmington NC. I’ve never seen such clear water in NC/SC beaches, usually they have a lot of sand in it and you can’t see 2-3 feet into it. Water at the Atlantic Beach was incredibly clear, very nice surprise.

These pictures were taken in Beaufort, little port town near the Atlantic Beach. We had some of the best seafood there.
