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)!

I have passed by this sign for probably 35 years while traveling on I-85 Business South through Lexington, North Carolina. Finally, stopped to capture this image a few months ago. Given its on Fairgrounds Rd, I’m trying to confirm it to be an old relic of the Davidson Country Agricultural Fair.
When the Old Settler’s Cemetery in Uptown Charlotte, NC, ran out of space in 1853, the city purchased the first of several tracts of land totaling 100 acres for a new municipal cemetery. Given race relations of that era, the property developed as three distinct but adjacent cemeteries: Elmwood (for the burial of White persons), Pinewood (for the burial of Black persons), and Potter’s Field (for the burial of White paupers). This composition is from the Elmwood section, shot with during a photo-walk with my niece.

During the 2024 Carolina Balloonfest Competition, pilots launch approximately two miles from a designated target zone at the festival grounds and must navigate to the zone and drop a marker within the target zone without landing the balloon. Here a balloon pilot launches his marker over the target zone.
