19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sunrise in the Outer Banks

I was visiting my family in the Outer Banks area of North Carolina. The weather had been mostly overcast with rain. However I saw that the last morning was going to be clear. Guessing that with all the moisture in the air, I might be in store for an amazing sunset, I decided to get up early and check it out. I was not disappointed, the display of colors was amazing.
