A shot from the observation deck of the Bodie Island Lighthouse taken on the last day of a family vacation to the Outerbanks, NC. Of course, the weather was near perfect on the last day of the vacation. My wife was feeling sorry for me, so she didn’t complain when I asked to stop and see the lighthouse. The wind had picked up and was so gusty that the observation deck was closing. We were the last visitors allowed up top. I wasn’t allowed to take my tripod up to the observation deck so I shot this handheld.
