Late yesterday afternoon, our Outer Banks weather deteriorated as a strong low pressure system brought colder temperatures along with high winds and seas out of the north/northwest. Most of our coastal storms are nor'easters, and in fact, the wind vacillated between north and northeast yesterday afternoon before the brunt of the storm arrived. The shift to northwest winds today sent spray flying skyward against a sunset-brushed sky. I love the sea and sky in all sorts of weather, and was out near dusk both yesterday and today to witness the spectacle. Here is what the sea and sky looked like late yesterday afternoon.
And here is the same general stretch of Nags Head beach taken 24 hours later. Both are beautiful in their own way. This is the main reason I am a photographer: to stand as witness to the offerings of sea and sun and sky and earth, and with my "yes" as I click the shutter, to give thanks.
