Bonner Bridge is one of North Carolina's most well known man-made structures of it's kind (The Linn Cove Viaduct on the Blue Ridge Parkway is probably the most well known). This location makes for a great getaway at the Outerbanks to spend an entire day (and night). The location is popular for fishing and is ideal for landscape and astro photography. You can have lots of fun on some of the dunes, although getting the sand out afterwards is a big hassle.

This is one of my favorite images from this location. I love the warm light tones and the shadows that create a contrast in the foreground sand. It is created from a single exposure with only minor modifications made to adjust overall contrast and brightness.

If you are interested in wildlife, the Pea Island Wildlife Refuge is nearby and is a very popular location.

Thank you for stopping by.

"Jude was very helpful. We couldn't figure out how to adjust the heat and he texted us and it worked out fine."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington West - Medical Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was good, assorted fresh fruits and food. Coffee/tea 44/7. The hotel has a large parking lot, we had no problem parking. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Tosha and Melissa remembered and addressed me by name. The room was clean and housekeeping also met expectations. Overall, I will recommend this hotel. "
