Cross-section of one of the few remaining natural live oak tree barriers on Oak Island, North Carolina.  Most of these windswept oaks and wax myrtle shrub protective barriers have long disappeared due to beach home development.

Anglers fishing on a sandbar, accessed by boat, between Oak Island and Holden Beach, North Carolina in the Intracoastal Waterway.  As the incoming tide starts to consume the sandbar, I found the aerial wave/water/sand patterns fascinating. I looked up wave theory, it goes pretty deep (pun intended)!

Cheers,
