Frisco Condos – Unterkunft mieten 2026

"Yin and Yang"

I was at Cape Hatteras last month to try and capture a sight of one of our heavenly visitors in the night sky - Comet Catalina. The comet is somewhat unique since this would be it's only ever visit to the inner Solar System before being ejected to interstellar space forever. It was by no means an easy target to locate and photograph in the night sky especially for someone who's never done that before.

But this is not about my attempts at capturing Comet Catalina (although I did manage to view and capture it). After I was done looking at the comet, I settled by the beach next to this pier, one of my favorite places on the North Carolina Outerbanks, to hear the ocean's mesmerizing soundtrack. I still had about 2 hours to go before sunrise and so I was just sitting and enjoying the unseasonably warm winter in December and just looking at the stars, Venus, Jupiter and Mars in the night sky. I suddenly noticed this big cloud about 5 minutes in streaking just below bright Venus. On a hunch, I decided to capture an image to see what the cloud looked like and a short 15 second later, I saw the start of what turned out to be one of the most perfect sunrises I have borne witness to. The cloud had started to just pick up the first rays from the sun, with about an hour and a half to go before sunrise.

I love the juxtaposition of every single element in this image. The fading of the night sky and stars with Venus shining valiantly as the sun comes back to herald the start of another day, the stretch of unbroken cloud over the hurricane damaged pier and the sheer beauty created in an otherwise damaging act of Mother Nature (the hurricane, not the sunrise :) ). This duality is what inspired the title of the image.

If you're near the NC coast, this location is a must stop. It is close to the town of Buxton and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

Thank you for stopping by.

„I really do hate to nit pick but just be aware this is a 2d floor unit with no elevator. The sofa and chair apoear to be patio furniture and not comfortable at all and very difficult to get up being so low to the floor. The bath tub would not enpty so stoid in dirty water to shower. Made maint. Aware and it was fixed the next. Plug for the bath room sink was hanging from a chain and look like mold on it. Not enough TP but some was brought when the tub was snaked. The bed made a noise underneath ...

„The price maybe appropriate for the area, but the room was small and with the pictures online you think you might have more space attached to the room than you actually do. When you read the information it is accurate. The curtain that fell during cleaning made the room like daylight the first night but was quickly fixed the next day. The refrigerator froze our food in the back even with making adjustments. Over all a good stay, but I learned to read carefully and not trust the pictures.“

„This was the worst VRBO experience I have ever had! Do NOT stay here or at any other rooms this host offers. It was not at all what you see in the photos. We walked in to find a dirty, unsanitary, unsafe room. This place had hair on the sheets, toothpaste and spit on the bathroom mirror, dead flies on the floor, broken blinds which enabled anyone walking by to see right in, and a door lock which you could move with your bare hand. The property manager told us we shouldn’t have expected it to ...
