Random photos from Washington, North Carolina

It’s hard to believe that it was two months ago, but in early April, Kathy & I took our latest excursion to eastern North Carolina along with our friends Bill & Cathy from Ohio. We visited our usual haunts of Belhaven and Washington, but also visited Edenton and Bailey. Here are a few photos from that trip, just for fun.

Built in 1886, the restored Roanoke River Lighthouse now stands proudly in the harbor at Edenton, NC. The lighthouse first served as a guide for ships navigating the waters of the Albemarle Sound into the Roanoke River, and then, after being decommissioned in 1941, was moved by barge across the sound to private land, where it ultimately deteriorated as a neglected residence. Its history, as one would expect, is filled with fateful events and colorful characters. After being acquired by the Edenton Historical Commission and then given to the state of North Carolina, a band of dedicated volunteers, public officials and preservationists brought it to its final home. With state funds, the structural restoration work was completed as volunteer donations and furnishings were gathered. — Roanoke River Lighthouse in Edenton, NC.

  Thank you, Monte. Mostly it’s just there waiting for somebody to pay attention. Looking forward to some Colorado randomness – soon! 😉

You have a knack for taking what others may consider a mundane scene and making it special. A rare talent.

  Ken, thank you! Sorry for the tardy reply but I’ve traveling and haven’t been getting my email notifications. Amazingly, emails from my own blog are going to my Spam folder! 🙁
