Days when I love my job...

About twice a year, my job gets incredibly cool and January is one of those times. I had the opportunity to do some aerial surveying along the coast last Thursday and Friday and I thought I'd show y'all some of the cool things I saw. The map below shows the area we flew.

Of course, the North Carolina coast is also known for it's maritime history and there's a slew of lighthouses along the coast. I'll leave you all with this lighthouse, Cape Hatteras.
