My first attempt at a serious panorama of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse provides an ideal location since it faces the right direction to compose such a panorama while maintaining the balance in the image.

This shot is composed of 6 vertical shots shot at 30 degrees of rotation and merged in Photoshop. Added to the usual difficulties of shooting and composing a panorama at night, this night was crazy hot with nighttime temperature in the mid 80s, no breeze and humidity so high that the lens had to be wiped after every exposure. On top of it, the mosquitoes had a field day running rings around me and no amount of bug spray helped. But in spite of all that, I managed to walk away with an image and experience that does appeal to me.

2 Sovrum 1 Badrum Stuga Ligger i byn Buxton

Buxton

“Simple but clean and well-placed accommodations. One night stay during a road trip at OBX. Perfectly placed as a staging point for our next day's itinerary of visiting Hatteras and Ocracoke. Minimal kitchen supplies, but all we needed for reheating some leftovers. IT would have been difficult to cook "homemade" meals. Also, FYI the hot tub/pool facilities are at the main hotel about a mile away, not at the cottage itself. Not a problem for my trip, but may confuse others. ”

“We had a wonderful stay at this motel. The staff were incredibly courteous, kind, and helpful, answering all our questions about the accommodations and the surrounding area. The efficiency apartment was spotless and welcoming, and the beds were comfortable for a restful night's sleep.Additionally, the beach is just a short drive away—only a couple of miles. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy and convenient place to stay”

Beach Cottage - 0,7 kilometer till stranden!

Kill Devil Hills

“Very clean, comfortable rooms. Plenty of room to spread out if we needed it. Very nice to have a full-sized refrigerator, stove and microwave as well as a dishwasher. When we were originally looking to book a property for our weekend stay a lot of the locations that were available did not have a full-size stove or refrigerator. Communication with the property owner was unmatched to any other property we have rented. Great find in a great neighborhood!!”

Across from marina and fully renovated!

Harkers Island

“House was ideally located for us, since we needed to be at the Cape Point Marina early every day. Not a lot in the way of shopping or restaurants unless you drive 30 minutes to Beaufort. But the house itself was clean and well maintained. Kitchen was well appointed. Plenty of towels for bathroom. Found the beds a little firm for my liking, but that’s a personal preference. Overall, very convenient location and the host always responded quickly to our messages. Thanks.”

Oceanside, fun location, close beach access

Nags Head

“Beautifully furnished immaculate home with easy beach access. Centrally located near stores and restaurants. Loved the decks and deck furniture - fun evening on the deck feeling like we were “ in the trees.” A lot of love went into this place. Lots of nice “extras”: a keurig with coffee pods, tea bags and tea kettle, books and games , beach towels to name a few. Although there is no beach view, you still feel like you are on the beach. Highly recommended!”
