Dunes # 1 - Ocracoke Island, North Carolina 


The barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina are known as the Outer Banks. Ocracoke is the southernmost island and is accessible only by ferry. Last October I visited the Outer Banks and made a day trip to Ocracoke.

As a storm approached at the end of our day on Ocracoke, the dunes were illuminated by a lovely soft light, and the island was cleansed by sun and clouds and a fresh breeze off the ocean. For a few moments, it seemed as if the world was new, and God said, "Let there be light."

The first drops of rain fell as we rode the ferry back toward Hatteras, and then it was dark.
