Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, NC


These images are from the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, right next to the old lifesaving station. When I first came out here, the lifesaving station was abandoned; it was half covered with sand dunes and was fenced off with barbed wire. Because of the dunes you could walk right over the fences. The lifesaving station has been mostly rehabbed, though I'm not sure what it is going to be used for. They haven't quite finished cleaning up the exterior after getting rid of a modern addition to the station. Lucky for me. How often do you get to see a fire hydrant in a sand dune?
