Result of 4 voters
Key - Excellent: 5 points; Very Good: 4 points; Good: 3 points; Average: 2 points; Poor: 1 points; (Average points in brackets)
(1) You've probably seen an amphibious vehicle before, but this one amused me enough to demand a photo. - 2 voters (5.00) BAR
(2) View of the bow from a bridge porthole. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(3) I'd love to tell you I found this shot all by myself, but the truth is, I saw this composition on a poster in the gift shop which inspired me to walk over to the bridge and shoot it myself. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(4) The first lighthouse we found was the Roanoke River Light in Washington County, NC. In the 19th century, a dozen or more of this style lighthouse were built on open-water screw piles. They were all dismantled not long ago, except this one which is privately owned. It was moved to the Roanoke River and is undergoing restoration. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(5) I took three shots of the Bodie (pronounced "body") Island Light on Bodie Island, NC. They're all virtually the same angle, though, and this one is my favorite, so just one will suffice. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR

It's one of the few historic lights that are still open to public climbing.

In the foreground is the Currituck Beach Light keeper's house. On the other side is a smaller building converted to a gift shop.

Looking about 90 degrees to the right from the previous picture; some kind of park/resort that I don't know the name of.

Since there were no wheels on the plane, this wood and metal track was used for the plane's takeoff. It was not launched, however. It lifted from the ground under its own power.
