From NC with Love

@longexposure_va

Visited Bodie Island Lighthouse last night to take some photos of the lighthouse and ran into an unexpected guest. He explained to me that he was there to calibrate the lighthouses of the @theouterbanksnc for his upcoming December flight. @visitnc • • • #santa #santaclaus #santainnorthcarolina #outerbanks #obx #obxlife #visitnc #getoutdoors #visitobx #lighthouse #lighthouses #christmas #christmastime #longexposure #nightphotography #nightportrait #bodieisland #bodieislandlighthouse #lighthousesofig #christmas2018 #tistheseason #hesmakingalist

It was a frigid night at Tweetsie Railroad a couple weeks ago, but the plethora of gorgeous lights made it well worth it. #train #tweetsie #railroad #northcarolina #nc #boone #blowingrock #mountains #locomotive #Christmas #cold
