Cape Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina
You are missing 90% of the shot if you don't see this one at its largest!
I have to say that this is probably one of my favorite photos I have ever made!

Great shot - what are the white streaks? A few show in the reflection, too ... almost like shooting stars, but there are too many .. aren't there?!
I love the whole composition, the lighting ...

Anduze they are stars...with the long exposure you can see how they move across the sky...

Wauw! Or as I would say in danish: Wauw!
How long was the shot? By the looks of the stars movement I would say about 1 minute??!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Lighthouses and their light, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Well, I can't see the large size. But if you accept the invitation, that might change. We'll see.
