Bodie Island Lighthouse
Caught this at sunset. The lighthouses on the Outer Banks are always stunning to see in person - such a cool bit of history.
My White Whale
When I’d visit here as a kid, the interior was always closed off to the public. In the last year or so they apparently finally opened up the base. Was cool to finally see inside! The Ocracoke Island lighthouse is the second oldest lighthouse in the country. Neat bit of history.
Jank Tiki
Stumbled on a weird tiki bar on a pier, tucked away on the backside of the beach. Was a useful stopping point on an otherwise long drive.
Down East
Had always been curious about this side of the Outer Banks, wound up with a reasonable excuse to come up from the southern side. Longer ferry ride over Ocracoke but some stunning views.
Forgotten Track
Was at a small track for a drifting event, spotted this long unused portion while cooling off. Wonder how many races this has seen?
Soviet Era Ferris Wheel
A very odd part of the world. Walking through here feels like simultaneously being in an old Soviet era and the modern era.
Growing older…
…but not so gracefully. He’s very photogenic but can be quite the asshole - but I love him no matter how he acts.
Rainbow door
Stumbled on this while passing through the area and thought it’d make a fun picture with saturation cranked way the hell up.
Vintage Eames Animation
Stopped in to an old haunt of ours for a drink (well, three, to be precise). Got to chatting with the bar owner about the films they were showing. I’d heard about these but not seen them myself - really interesting bit of history that will stop me from ever looking at a certain chair the same way again.
Americana, ish
Stumbled on this relic parked in an alleyway in Toranomon. I’d love to know who’s driving it, just due to the absurdity of it all.
Salt Flat Flamingo
Visited the salt flats in the northern desert of Chile. Wild flamingos galore, apparently they feed on a form of shrimp that manages to live in these small bodies of water. The sun is so powerful here that I felt myself burning already - surreal that these birds just shrug it off.
Mars-esque
The “Valley of Death”, which apparently is similar in terrain to Mars. When we got here, we knew we had to try climbing the hills so we ditched the truck and gave it a go. I don’t know if I’ve been anywhere else on earth like this, stunning beauty especially with the way the shadows cast.
