Dunes at Sunset

My wife and I took a walk to Virginia. It's so funny how we can walk into VA so much faster than we can drive into it. When we came back down the beach into NC it was starting to get dark. I don't know for sure what it is, but up here I enjoy the sun sets on the dune line much more than the sun rises on the shore line. I think it's because we have stretches of dune line where all you see is dune, where so much of the paved outer banks when you look west from the beach all you see is houses, hotels, & restaurants.

Take a look at some of these shots and tell me how you can not fall in love with Carova.

I apologize for the quality, but all I had on me was my cell phone.

Pictures Of The Duneline

It sems to me that there is an abundance of pictures of the ocean and the shoreline but few of the other side of the beach. Maybe it's because at most beaches when you turn around and put your back to the water, all you see are houses and hotels. Not up my way. Althought there are certainly some ocean front houses, there are NO HOTELS and there are some beautiful stretches of beach where all you see when you look West is Nature's Beauty. Here are some pics that I just had to stop and take on my way home yesterday.

Carova Sunset

Here's a great reason for living in Carova. Without all the development & comercialization that you find elsewhere on the East Coast, you can get shots like this.
