After waking early and taking a peek at the water, I saw a beautiful morning coming to light. Realizing that there was no chance of of me going back to sleep I grabbed my camera gear and drove to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The morning sun was already above the horizon and just burning off the thin layer of fog that settled over night.

Most photographers in this area have their shot of the lighthouse and I have seen quite a few that are nice. I have shot the lighthouse on a couple of occasions, and find myself coming back to it from time to time. This morning I decided the light would make for nice photography.

This past weekend hosted a surf fishing contest, which ended yesterday, and a few fishermen were still in the area working for a big catch in the surf.
