Description

As we're leaving for a trip to the Outer Banks one month from today, I started looking through past pictures from our last trip years ago. We always go in September, when the weather can either be great or stormy. But stormy can be cool too. And yes, this is the house from the movie, before it became famous!

Very cool and 'moody' image, Julie! It looks so vulnerable standing there alone. Terrific capture! #1401396

A terrific image Julie. Stormy skies by the ocean can be fun to photograph, but I hope you get good weather! #9607275

LOL @ Dave because I thought the same thing! (Googling it took care of that!). Oh, very moody, Ms. J. Great leading lines, beautiful colors and an excellent comp. The lead-ins are really wonderful - not only the sand pathway but the bending of the beach plants all turned towards the house and directing the eye right into it...a real sense of "expectancy" is felt (if you can understand that!:) Very, very cool capture, Ms. J! #9614203

What a wonderful composition where you lead the eye right through the frame to the house and beyond. The colours, the pathway and the sky all contribute to a feeling of loneliness and seclusion. Very well composed and shot. #9654216

I also saw this on a pgm called Aerial America by the Smithsonian. Seems the beach is eroding and the waves are now underneath the foundation. The pgm said someone purchased the house and is in the process of restoring it. Very cool house but I'm afraid it's doomed. #9656061

Thank you all, and Dave, we've thought the same thing. For years this house has had waves running under it. One more pic taken the same week back in 2003, where you can see the sand pattern caused by the washover even then. (Havn't tried to upload a pic on a comment in over a year, hope I get it right, but if not, oh well.) Yet, it survives. #9666098

As I was writing this, and starting to upload the pic, Hubby said he heard that it was moved to a new location, just researched, and it has been moved, too late to delete the first comment. #9666161

Beautiful. I loved that movie. I've watched it many many times. #9690300
