Swansboro, NC.
It's the town I couldn't wait to leave when I was a kid. Now that I'm gone...it means a lot more to me.
I took these pictures on the way home from the beach, the clouds had rolled in and the sun was going down...
Swansboro is situated on the Intracoastal Waterway, hence the shrimp boats, which have always been a mainstay since I can remember.
I don't know what it is about them...I just find them serene, waiting till the next excursion, silently waiting for their master to call again...
If you asked me to describe Swansboro, named after Samuel Swann circa 1783, a few words come to mind:
RUGGED
PICTURESQUE
COMMUNITY
SCENIC
EARTHY
HISTORIC
UNDISTURBED
Most of all: HOME

ReplyDeleteAmazing how you couldn't wait to get out of there when you were younger, and now you have a wonderful appreciation for it.
The heart grows up.
Great post! Great pictures!
All the best,
