    When I am out of town and have more time on my hands than I generally do, I look for places of interest to take pictures. I especially like to make images of sunrises and sunsets. What I predominately look for is landscapes with the ability to reflect light and color; ergo, I search for water.

    The following series of pictures that have not been used in any other article. They are an extension of my Beaufort County series, "Every Picture Tells a Story ... Don't It," however, I will make it my on the road edition. I hope you enjoy this sequential images of sunrises and sunsets on North Carolina's Outer Banks.

    On the crest of Jockey's Ridge, looking north across the Roanoke Sound, I expect a beautiful sunset due to the formation of the clouds. It did not materialize: Above. Looking in generally the same direction, but from the sound side of the giant sand dune, I again wait for an interesting sunset and this time I was not disappointed: Below.



    Taking that same northern look at the horizon as I move back up on the toe of Jockey's Ridge: Above. As I meander amongst the undulating dunes, I look back for another shot of dying color of a beautiful day: Below.



    Once again from the crest of Jockey's Ridge, looking north across the Roanoke Sound, we look toward the setting sun and we know tomorrow will begin anew: Above and below.
