Description
The beauty of the Outer Banks (OBX) and North Carolina coast. The Outer Banks and North Carolina coast - ocean, beach, waves, surf, fishing, boats, sand dunes, . It's all there to enjoy all seasons of the year - winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Bodie Lighthouse on the Outer Banks of North Carolina under an early-morning thunderstorm. This picture was taken very early in the morning before sunrise as a hurricane downgraded to a tropical storm passed over the Outer Banks.
The lightning in the storm was very active and many simultaneous lightning strikes can be seen lighting various portions of the sky as well as striking the ground. The Bodie lighthouse pictured here is the original lighthouse before the changes and renovation was completed in 2013. This is one of the very last times the original lighthouse was lighted.
The fresnel lens was removed one month later. The lens was out and the lighthouse was dark for many years. The light from the original lens could be seen by ships 15 miles out to sea. The stormy conditions at the time the picture was taken were dangerous and threatening, but the photo was well worth the effort.
Another similar picture is available in the gallery but I prefer this one. 5107-10. #photography #painting #homedecor #fineart
