| Bodie Island Lighthouse, Outer Banks North Carolina |
Well it started out well...beautiful blue skies and wispy clouds. Chad put down the back hatch of the vehicle and settled in on the tailgate content to let me walk the grounds looking for the perfect vantage point and deciding on a lens. As you can see, the Lighthouse lens is covered for repairs...but "no worries" I thought, "the sunset would make up for that".
After about 30 minutes I could see Chad starting pacing around, it quickly became apparently what was making him nervous. This incredible storm was rolling in...fast. They don't call this area "The Graveyard of The Atlantic" for nothing. The mobile phones started ringing, our family calling to warn us of the severity of the approaching storm. My husband started to pack up. I belligerently dug my heels in. No way was I leaving till I photographed the storm. We compromised. It was worth the wait. I'm glad I didn't get the traditional sunset. This is so much better.
I'm going to post another shot from this adventure early next week. It's a slightly more spooky version. Please come back Monday to check it out!
Thanks to Skywatch Friday

Wow...great shot...I love stormy pics! The obx is such a beautiful place!
Tami, Great skies don't always have to be colorful to be impressive. And, what a wonderful lighthouse!! They always are fun to take photos of--great shot. Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)
WOW!! Your sky is really similar to mine...those ominous gray clouds moving in. This photo is beautiful. I think our gray skies are every bit as beautiful as the bight cloud filled blue ones. Nice photography. Genie
Wow that is impressive.

Marvelous photo, - nature gives us some wonderful opportunities to display her wonders, and a stormy sky is one of them.
Great capture of the dramatic sky.
Have a great weekend.
Oh, I agree - this is deliciously moody! Great shot.
It may not have been a beautiful sunset sky, but the mood is awesome. Looking forward to see the sunset pic though.
Thank you for your comment !
I can tell you, that our sky is mostly like yours in this photo, but three summer months give many times colourful sky, when we have light also during nights.
I will come back and see your stormy photos:)
Happy weekend to you!
Wonderful shot of the dramatic sky.
Absolutely stunning. MUCH better than the traditional sunset photos!!!
Nice storm shot,sometimes we don't get what we come for.
wow...great shot and interesting story to go with it! I love stormy clouds!
Marvelous sky. It is great to head into an adventure with hopes and desires, but keep the adventure going even if the sunset doesn't show up.
Very good photo.
