Time and Tide At The Frisco Pier - Hatteras Island - Outer Banks - NC

Thanks, Jack:>)

Thanks so much, guys!

Thanks, Jerry - You're so nice to drop by and comment:>)

Many thanks, Mary! It's especially nice when someone likes an image enough to give it a V/F:>)

Thank you for this lovely comment, Kandy, and thanks, as well, for the V/T - I appreciate it all:>)

Thank you, my dear:>) It was a dark and stormy day!

Unsafe either atop or below. I believe I heard that a family bought the remains and may rebuild. It's never the same, however, and each board gone represents a loss of things "as they used to be". I know we need to move on with life, but it is with regret that I say good-bye to some icons like this old pier. We fished among it's pilings and in it's shadow many, many times. My constant unhappiness at the trash that is everywhere makes me want to figure out a project to heighten awareness of our human destruction of our planet. The 5 huge gyres that float in our oceans is an example of trash gone wild. This is truly tragic - see http://5gyres.org/ OOOPS - sorry for the off-subject rambling. Thank you for your lovely comment, Bob, and the V/F - always very much appreciated!!!!!

We, too, used to go every year and fish and walk the nature trails but haven't been back for two years with all the storms and some other family stuff. It is a lovely place!
