At the very tip of Hatteras Island you have the opportunity to take a ferry ride
to the neighboring island. I've been on one before but this was my first time
driving a vehicle onto a ferry. It was an interesting experience.
The free ride took approximately 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, I walked around....
Once across, we made our way to the next camping destination.
This one was also oceanside and we chose a site with direct access this time.
After settling into our new campsite, we had to go explore.
Ocracoke NPS Campground was much more open than Frisco and because of
that it lacked the same privacy that we relished at our last overnight spot, but
being a stones throw from the beach just can't be beat, so I didn't complain!
It was so tranquil....waves crashing.....salty sea air....blowing breeze
See you on Monday when I will share more of Ocracoke Island.
Until then, have a great weekend!
You've used a beautiful photo processing technique here. Very nostalgic!
ReplyDeleteNo special technique, they are POLAROIDS!
ReplyDeleteOOH! I was going to say that I liked the vintage processing...but it looks like I need to get me a polaroid!
ReplyDeletehese are beautiful, and look like a wonderful place to spend lots of time in.
ReplyDeletegreat pics! love the faded look.
ReplyDeleteI think these captured the way it sometimes looks on our southern beaches. It's not always crisp contrasts. It's sometimes hazy and indefinite, kind of spooky. The foliage looks tired and worn from wind, sun, and sand.
ReplyDeleteewina is right, the photos are very nostalgic. nice look.
ReplyDeletethe polaroid photos definitely lend a nostalgic feel here. i want to walk that sandy path, feeling the warm sand between my toes.
ReplyDeleteOh, to be able to walk right to the beach from the camper. Ferry boats are common here,.. we are always crossing Lake Champlain to go to Vermont and back. it saves about an hour's drive going either north or south and crossing by bridge. Enjoy that campsite!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just got to get back to the Outer Banks. Your posts are stirring up a lot of good memories.
ReplyDeleteI want to go...now
ReplyDeleteI've been interested in camping/vacationing there for a couple of years now and have had trouble convincing my husband that we should. I'm going to show him these awesome photos and try convincing him again!
ReplyDeletep.s. i'd like to post one on my "...shhhh" blog, and also maybe use them for a Jorjah-B post some time—with credit and a link to you, of course.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! They have such a great feel!
ReplyDeleteoh really????????? I was just going to leave a comment asking what the processing technique is
ReplyDeleteAM OFFICIALLY JEALOUS!

ReplyDeletePolaroids! OMG, how unusual, fun and vintage :-D
ReplyDeleteSo badly want to be by the sea... can you add smell-o-vision to your photos, please?
Scratch n'sniff?
so serene and inviting . . . Here’s my photo story happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteSeriously? These are Polaroids? Awesome!! Loved each of them.
ReplyDeleteYour photos take me away to somewhere reclusive, private, and peaceful. Wish I could be there!
ReplyDeleteI love the treatment on these shots. You have made then have a very carefree feel.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you processed these.
ReplyDeleteI love polaroids - I wish more people still used them! These pictures totally bring me back - my family went to Ocracoke when I was a kid - must have been about 20 years ago! I remember losing a tooth while there - and being quite nervous about whether the tooth fairy could find me on vacation! good memories!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Makes me want to be there.
ReplyDeleteWhat peaceful, beautiful scenery. I fell in love with the second photo. Nice polaroids!
ReplyDeletewell done Polaroids such a cool feel to them...did you bring home sand?
