Photo of the Week: Outer Banks, North Carolina, USA

I recently visited the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a family get-together in a faraway and previously unknown-to-me place.  Being from the West Coast of the country, the humidity, the foliage, the giant bugs and the swamps of these East Coast islands were all new to me.  I was reminded that although I’ve seen much of the United States on numerous road trips, there is still so much to be discovered.
