Brewing Of The Storm

---

This snap shot was taken while waiting for the Cedar Island ferry ride over to Ocracoke Island . Threating massive in size , dark clouds furiously rush over the docking station before boarding . This was an amazing site appearing in a 3D effect over the Island . Right before the downfall of the rain , the thunder rumbled over head ....announcing its mighty power , and adding its threating beauty to the Island ambiance . What seems to be a everyday event according to the locals...... does not last long, as it rushes out traveling the coast as fast as it had rushed in . When evening finally sets in and the day is a success , you can bask in the peace and traquility of the sunset over the coast and the seclusion from all that is stress ! Included is a few shots of some amazing dolphins that seem to follow along side the ferry as if they were the welcome committe ! They were a beautiful site to see , thus adding to the beauty of this amazeing Island !
