Time Lapse photography of NC outer banks

Here's a stunning time-lapse video of the North Carolina Outer Banks, done by Daniel Lowe, who obviously has great skill and talent.  The shots he has captured of the night sky over the ocean, right alongside the fierce beams of light cast by the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, is just stunning; and the music that accompanies this beautiful example of time-lapse cinematography further impresses upon the viewer the incredible, awesome beauty that is there, all laid out for any of us small and ephemeral human beings who are willing to take the time to go.

Watch this video, and it will make you want to head to the coast as soon as possible to see it all for yourself.

Sunset Beach - Recommended Site on the North Carolina Birding Trail

The North Carolina Birding Trail includes Sunset Beach Island (location #10) on its list of recommended spots for getting a glimpse of several notable species of our fine feathered friends, including the Horned Grebe, Wood Stork, American Oystercatcher, Black Skimmer, Painted Bunting, and many many others. Locally known as Bird Island, the state-owned coastal reserve is one spot mentioned; but the guide also details lots of other great locations to go, along the saltmarsh and other open areas around the village.

And, at the end of an energetic day of exploring the beauties of the NC coastal habitats with your camera and binoculars, you can come back to Sunset Beach Bliss to relax on the screened in porch, sip your favorite beverage, and watch the Egrets fishing in the lagoon below.
