OBX

The Outer Banks (OBX) are just that, banks of sand of no more than a few feet high lying off the Virginia and North Carolina Shores.

Like so much we have seen, just the most wonderful country and unusual landscape.

To get on to the strip of land that is the OBX we needed to get aboard a ferry at just past dawn.

So off at the crack, or in our case the pre crack of dawn to head to the ferry. and what a chance shot on the way, this of a shrimping boat.

and onto the OBX via ferry. little more than a very long sand dune.

and unquestionably a holiday destination...

One person that has not been on the blog much has been Marj, she has done a great job looking after us all. So many thanks Marj.

As the day went on it got hotter and hotter and the sky became wilder until finally the storm broke. And what a storm, you know how it is when the sky goes dark just before the storm, well this is what it looks like on The Outer Banks, in this case about 5:00 in the evening.

and in the morning, well just gorgeous.  Dawn over the Atlantic off The Outer Banks of North Carolina.
