Historic Downtown Manteo

Manteo

Shot while on a ghost / history walk in downtown Manteo, NC. Beautiful!
Great little backwater area with some cool trails on Roanoke Island, North Carolina USA
I was here early in the morning. Since I didn't have a boat, and I sure can't walk on water, this was the best I could do at the time. Too much glare from the boardwalk side.
