‘Tis the season for the bright lights and to be merry 💡🎄💫 #smallparksaturday 📍Indigenous land of the Lumbee and Raonoke ••••• Thank you @zakbtc for the beautiful capture ••••• Light the beacon 🔥 I’m so proud of this shot. I tried to capture the Milky Way over a pier earlier in the night and failed miserably. I decided to drive down the coast to Cape Hatteras and try it again, and I’m glad I did. It was a nice surprise when the core of the galaxy lined up with the lamp! 📸 @sonyalpha a7riii - 16-35mm f2.8 GM . . . . . . . . . . #obx #outerbanks #outerbanksnc #nagshead #capehatterasnationalseashore #nationalparkphotography #sonyalpha #sonya7riii #1635gm #bealpha #celebratingnc #discovernc #visitnorthcarolina #visitnc #ncweekend #explorenorthcarolina #ourstatemag #bestofthetarheelstate #ncoutdoors #itsamazingoutthere #makemomentshappen #optoutside #greettheoutdoors #capehatteras #landscapephotography #astrophotography #lighthouse #findyourpark #nationalparkgeek
