Description
I came upon this large sand dune while walking the beach at Fort Macon State Park in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. I liked the way the light played on its ridges and curves. The dramatic clouds overhead added to the appeal of the scene Wind, rain and waves shape and reshape these natural sand hills. Change is constant on the beach. I'm sure this dune will look much different on my next visit.
Fort Macon State Park is located at the eastern end of a barrier island named Bogue Banks. The old earth and brick structure stood guard over Beaufort Inlet in the 1800s. It was captured by Union forces during the Civil War and also saw some use during the World Wars. One of the state's first parks it is also one of the most frequently visited
