Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

An orange glow floods the far reaches of the ocean. Waves settle on the beach as the clouds split into multiple colors.

OBX Sunrise

Forced myself out of bed to catch the sunrise on the Outer Banks. Even with adjustments to the photo, it’s hard to capture how stunning the view was.

The sun begins to rise over the ocean. A small wave is coming up over the surf.

Peeking Sun

Forced myself out of bed to catch the sunrise. Did not disappoint.

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.

An old white lighthouse rises in to clear blue skies. There’s a window visible on the front.

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.

A knockoff crude tiki bar statue is on top of a railing. A pier stretches out over the ocean in the background.

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.

A sign displays text welcoming people to the outer banks. A dilapidated motel is visible in the background.

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.
