Our new book, 100 Pictures, 1000 Words, A Crystal Coast Year

If the cold weather is getting you down, try spending some time with 100 of my favorite images of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. It is much harder than you think to come up with the best images of such a scenic area. That is specially true when you take over 40,000 pictures a year. Click this link or the image of the cover to sample our book. It is a Kindle book, but as this page explains, Kindle reader software works on anything.

Need some distance between you and the holidays?

A rare picture of an almost empty DC beltway

That might especially be the case if you live in the DC area. Try leaving about 1 AM tonight and you might miss the traffic.

If you are going to battle the traffic, make it worthwhile and escape to our beaches, even this time of year they are hard to beat. For more thoughts click the picture or this link: http://ow.ly/rZcIU
