Outer Banks Cypress Tree Sunset Photography Print | Duck, NC

A sunset sky provides a striking backdrop for this lone cypress tree reflected in the calm waters of the Currituck Sound. I captured this picture on an autumn evening along the boardwalk in the small town of Duck, NC, located on the beautiful Outer Banks. This stretch of barrier islands along the eastern coast of North Carolina, generally referred to as the OBX, is a popular destination known for it's breathtaking coastal landscapes, sandy beaches, historic lighthouses, fresh seafood, and laid back atmosphere.

I always visit this lone cypress tree when I'm in the area, as I love the character in these weathered trees along the coast, and how they really seem to embody the peaceful vibe of the place. It reminds me of something my Dad used to say when we were on vacation, it was something along the lines of "We have nowhere to go, and nothing to do when we get there". That sounds just about right for a visit to this magical place called the OBX.
