More cheating this week:<\/strong> You will no longer find this boat if you go to this location, at least not according to Google Earth\/Google Maps, though where it’s gone I can’t say. Repaired? Dismantled? Driven off by a storm? Looming out of the fog just when our heroes were relaxing? Your guess is probably better, or at least more imaginative, than mine.<\/p>\n

This was taken during our trip to Oak Island, NC, a semi-planned shot in that I spotted the boat the previous day from the causeway as we crossed the intracoastal waterway, and later on pulled up the maps to see if there was a way to get closer. It turned out to be trivially easy, since it was right off of a boatyard and we could practically drive right up to it, though my past experience with such locations urged us to park some ways back to minimize the chance of blowing a tire;<\/strong> the region was littered with scrap and debris. The sun wasn’t going to rise quite where I wanted it to, so I elected to use the predawn colors and augment with my pocket flashlight to keep the boat from being just a silhouette.<\/p>\n

I’d been out the previous day on the beach for sunrise but the angles were wrong and the sun rose behind the buildings along the shore, so I was after something more scenic, without a lot of time to prepare or explore. This proved sufficient, though I’m always aiming to do something a lot more dramatic. Still, it serves as some color in the winter dead months, and who’s complaining about that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
