This was taken on Cape Hatteras National Seashore, near Nags Head, NC on November 3, 2009. My wife and I spend the last week in October/first week in November on Ocracoke each year, and generally stay in Nags Head the first two nights of the trip. This photo was taken on the return drive this year--the first time we had seen this much sun in a week!
Thanks for sharing this terrific picture. The colors are very vibrant. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore is always a great picture, but with this photograph, you can almost feel the beach.
