A detailed description of this month long trip would have to wait but right now I can just post few pictures which will do justice to the theme of this album. "Islands and Mountains of USA"
A brief, nevertheless, is here :
The month long backpacking across the Eastern USA took me through . myriad of landscapes, geaographical wonders, metropolis, theme parks, heritage sites and wilderness. This is 1st in the series covering Outerbanks and Smokies.
Outerbanks is a 320 kms long string of narrow barrier islands off the coast of mainland USA, protruding in the Atlantic Ocean and famous for man's 1st journey into the sky in the Wright Brothers air craft
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site straddles between the states of Tennessee and North Carolina
I hope you'll enjoy this album. Stay tuned for more. And please send in your feedback and comments which would motivate me to work harder on my blog.

This is the point where two major Atlantic currents collide, namely the southerly-flowing cold water Labrador Current and the northerly-flowing warm water Florida Current (Gulf Stream). The collision of two major currents creates turbulent waters and a large expanse of shallow sandbars extending up to 14 miles (23 km) offshore. These shoals are known as Diamond Shoals. |
