Memories of Cape Lookout

Many years ago (and every chance we got),  my Downeast friends and I would pack up a skiff (which was docked at Marshallberg) and we would head ourselves over to Cape Lookout for adventure.  Because of the generosity of my friends ere long ago,  I have been able to see Cape Lookout by firelight, by moonlight, in loneliness, in remoteness and under broiling heat and even during a strange storm that the Downeaster's call a "mullet blow." 

Last night I was going through old photographs and I came across this old one which was taken from the last time I was over at the Cape.  This was taken a few years ago and though it had been a beautiful day at the Cape on that day, my camera (alas) was not a state of the art digital camera.  The result was an average digital photograph of a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

So, I took the photo (attached with good memories) and exported it over to my new photo editor at Picnik.
These are some of the perspectives that came out as a result...

Here is the original photo....

Here is the same photograph which I tweaked in various ways ...

Morning Dog Show on the River

Golden morning

A lot of stuff to see

"I was up at daybreak taking the clothes down to the washroom.  As I glanced up and saw the breaking sky, I made a quick decision to head to the river with my camera to try to capture a mood of the slow Sun coming up in the East. Bayard Wooten, situated in her home on East Front Street, would have seen this same sun break most every morning of her life. As I turned the curve by Bayard's homeplace (the Louisiana House) I figured I would be the first and only early riser there, but as the bright river came into view from around the curve,  I realized just how wrong I was!  It looked like the New Bern Dog Show coming down the sidewalks on the banks of the river!  Man (woman) and animal alike were strutting and happy. As if in fantasy I saw the most elegant white poodle prancing by the River Side. She must have been misplaced here from a foreign Palace-- she was that beautiful."  (Rosemary Osterhus in an email to a friend, August 15, 2010)
