The Empty Pier

Re-post July 2011

Last year when traveling to the Outer Banks in North Carolina I was able to get a lot of good pics. One morning I decided to get up and drive to the Avon Pier. I walked around the pier trying to find the best place to setup for some great sunrise shots. I initially was standing up on a mountain of sand hoping it would give me a great vantage point but as soon as I could setup, the owner of the pier came out yelling at me telling me to get off. She explained that they are there to help protect their structures during hurricanes, and they cost a lot of money. After I told her what I was doing she was then nice enough to allow me to go up on the pier for few pictures. Here is one of those pics.

Broken Fence

I took this picture over a year ago. I was really hoping to get a shot that included the fence, sand, ocean, and sky but unfortunately I couldn’t. The picture turned out okay, I only wish there were more clouds.

The Orange Sunrise

Sunrises and sunsets are always amazing to watch. The surrounding environment is calm, the sky undergoes multiple changes in color, and the rush of daily life has either not begun or has ended.

When I was in the Outer Banks taking pictures of the Avon Pier I witnessed one of those moments. As the sun began to rise, it cast an orange glow in the sky. I was able to line the shot just center and below the pier. I didn’t realize until later that there were two birds posing for the pic.
