Roanoke Island, NC

Today is my last day here in Outer Banks.  Time to pack up and get ready for the 8-10 drive back to NJ with a 1 and 8-year-old (this is fun!).  I hope the traffic is light and we make it back in record time.

Since it is the last day I decided to take a ride and explore other parts of the Island.  I drove out to Roanoke Island.  Roanoke is where the first settlers landed way back in the late 1500’s.  (Click here for some history.) This was formerly part of Virginia.

I went to the William B. Umstead Memorial Bridge and there was some nice scenery just waiting to be photographed.

I like how the roots from this tree twist and intertwine with the next one. I wonder how old this tree was here before it died.

Another view of the tree.

A stroll in the park

Took a walk in Berlin Park today. I lived in this area for most of my life and never actually walked this park.

A Dragonfly even decided to pose for me.

I am not sure if this is a “weed” or a “flower” but I thought it photographed nicely. 

Graffiti Street Gallery & The Delaware River

Took a ride with some photographers to the decaying coal pier in Port Richmond, PA (just outside Philadelphia).  This place is a hidden gem.  The pillars in his place are the canvases to these young artist.

I am assuming that this is where the ships would come in with the coal for the electic company a few miles away.

While we were there kids were even swimming in this river.

I know most of their parents would ground them if they knew what they were doing.  This could be very dangerous.
