Description
Photograph of the Pamlico Sound from Hatteras Island on a calm, peaceful morning. Ripples from a just launched kayak are spread across the water.
This image would look equally lovely printed on watercolor paper or as a metallic print. Great to adorn a beach house or remind you of a summer vacation.
Pamlico Sound in North Carolina, is the largest lagoon along the U.S. East Coast, being 129 km (80 mi) long and 24 to 48 km (15 to 30 miles) wide. It is a body of water separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Outer Banks, a row of low, sandy barrier islands, including Cape Hatteras.
The sound and its ocean inlets are noted for wide expanses of shallow water.
Pamlico Sound is part of a large, interconnected network of lagoon estuaries. As a whole it is the second largest estuary in the United States (Chesapeake Bay is the largest).
Along the coastal areas are numerous waterfowl nesting sites, including Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and Swanquarter National Wildlife Refuge on the mainland. Dolphins and sea turtles that are at risks on being involved in fishing nets, live in the sound with occasional visits by seals such as Harp Seal, while many other cetaceans including rare species like Fin Whales, Cuvier's Beaked Whales, and Orcas are present off Outer Banks and Cape Hatteras. whales such as Atlantic Gray (now extinct),[5] North Atlantic Right (critically endangerend), and North Atlantic Humpback were historically common. Endangered species such as Leatherback Turtles, Great White Sharks, and Basking Sharks are known to visit the sound as well.
I hope you will consider acquiring one of my photographs for your personal enjoyment or as a gift.
