Hard to beat fishing at the Kitty Hawk Pier on a beautiful morning.

Fishing at sunrise in Kitty Hawk. #eastcoastkin #photography #sunrise #OBX

As nice as this morning's sunrise was, tonight's sunset in Duck, NC was just amazing.

I don't usually do sunrises (too damn early for me), but got up early today and headed to Kitty Hawk Pier. I was not disappointed. Still seeing a little of the effect of Erin, although the seas have calmed quite a bit.

Erin is gone, and the sun still sets in Duck, NC.

It's National Lighthouse Day, so I'm reposting my favorite of Currituck Light from last year.

Fishing through tonight's sunset in Duck, NC.

Sunset this evening in Corolla, NC. Didn't seem like it was going to be much, but caught fire a few minutes after the sun went down.

I took this shot of the Aurora Borealis in January, outside Fairbanks, when it was -20F. As much as I don't like the heat and humidity we are having in Duck, NC these days, it beats -20F.

Miami Beach sunrise.

How about a pretty pink sunset in Duck, NC for #Stunday? #EastCoastKin #OBX #photography #Duck

A beautiful ending to a day otherwise ruined by torrential rains (although my grass is very pleased). #sunset #DuckOBX #OBX

The stars came out to play last night at the old, abandoned Oregon Inlet Life Saving Station.

The Milky Way rising above the Bodie Island Lighthouse last night. Took shots to do a stack with Starry Landscape Stacker, but the new non-destructive Denoise feature in Lightroom did a better job of it. Going to have to get out there again and do another test run. #EastCoastKin #Photography.

Looked like we were going to have a pretty nice sunset, at least until the rains came about an hour before sunset. So, here we go.

Its #Stunday. And the aurora at Birch Lake was stunning!

Checking out the babes on Las Ramblas #urbangaze #humansofbluesky #eastcoastkin

OK, its not the bluest sky, but I'm still blown away by my aurora watching trip to Alaska, so here you go. Not much of an aurora yet (wow, later that night it was amazing), but I do really like the blue hour light on this one. #blueskymonday #eastcoastkin #aurora

There's even a scene in Ferris Bueller on this! "In 1930, the Republican controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the Great Depression, passed the Smoot-Hawley Act which raised tariffs... It did not work and the US sank deeper into the Great Depression."

Just starting to work through the shots I took last week in Alaska. Still a few hundred to go through, but here are my two favorites so far from Birch Lake about an hour outside of Fairbanks. #aurora

Always love visiting Bodie Light on the OBX, particularly when I can also capture the Milky Way and a comet. #LightTheWay

Always has a soft spot for this young guy taken out to dinner at a fancy place in Asheville and bored out of his mind. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #Monochrome #EastCoastKin

Weather sucked today in OBX. So let's go with last night's sunset in Duck.

Not my best, but the best I took today. Sunset in Duck, NC. #photobraphy

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...
