每日一瞥——洛亚诺克的灯塔

感恩节我到洛亚诺克岛看望家人，昨晚暴风过后还出去拍了照。这里灯塔漂亮是出了名的，所以我也去探寻了一番。

一开始也没打算照相，只是想在日落前在海滩跑跑步。我一路向北，享受着音乐和阳光。突然间前方乌云密集，十分可怖，仿佛《魔戒》中不见天日的莫都。一幅荒诞离奇的景象展现在眼前——也许你知道我在说什么：地平线以下的一切都沐浴在阳光里，然而上方却阴郁沉重。我马上意识到今晚肯定是拍照的好时机！

于是我跑回家，提了设备转身出门，身上还穿着湿漉漉的T恤和短裤——回家时乌云刚好追到头顶。我开车来到附近这座灯塔前，可那里没有照片中那样的理想角度，面前的树大约有8尺多高，而且长得密不透光。没办法，我只能停下车（租来的小货），然后扛着三脚架爬上车顶。上面滑得要命！我手爬脚蹬的样子肯定囧死……还好，我成功登顶！

Roanoke Island Lighthouse I’m visiting family for Thanksgiving here on Roanoke Island, and I went out last night after a storm to take some photos. This area is known for beautiful lighthouses, so I put myself on a little mission.I didn’t initially plan on going out to take photos. It started with a jog on the beach a bit before sunset. I was jogging north, listening to good music, and the sun was on me. But, ahead of me, the clouds were dark and scary, like the ones circling Mordor. One of those surreal scenes unfolded in front of me… maybe you know the kind. The sun lit everything perfectly below the horizon, and above the horizon was heavy and foreboding. It was then that I decided that it would be an interesting night for photos!So I jogged back to the house, got my rig, and headed out. All this while, I was still in shorts and a t-shirt, which were now wet with rain since the clouds had come to cover me up on the way home. I drove to this nearby lighthouse, but there was no good way to get this angle. The trees in front were about eight feet high, and there was no break in them… the only thing I could do is pull my car over (a rented minivan), and climb up on top with my tripod. There are not many things more slippery than the top of a wet minivan! So, I’m sure I looked like quite a fool clambering my way up there… but up there I got.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
