From the picture album: Ocracoke Island, NC



I took this shot in August of 2006 at Ocracoke Island, NC with my Olympus C-3000 Zoom camera.

Ocracoke is a magical spot. It's the least developed island on the NC coast "accessible" by car. And even then, I use the word "accessible" loosely, as getting to Ocracoke requires a ferry ride from either the mainland or from Hatteras Island.

It's a place without outlet malls or miniature golf courses. It's a place where the beach remains unblemished. You won't find 5000 square foot homes towering over the dunes. In fact, you won't find any homes at all within a half mile of the beach. It's the North Carolina coast the way it was 100 years ago.

We spent a week there with Stephanie's parents, and I'd go back again in a heartbeat.
