ABC Wednesday: N is for North Carolina

I thought I'd take you across the State of North Carolina today starting in the eastern part of the state.

North Carolina beaches are on the east coast of the U.S. Moving west from the coast, in the center of the state is the capital of North Carolina which is Raleigh and the shot below shows the capitol building. During colonial times, New Bern (eastern part of the state) was the capital of North Carolina. However, Raleigh has been the NC capital since 1792.

Moving west across North Carolina you come to the NC mountains.

We had some nasty tornadoes in NC, including in Raleigh where I live, this past Saturday. I feel fortunate not to have been personally impacted although of course feel bad for those in my state who were.

Hildred said...: Beautiful photos, Carver. Some of my favourite musicians live in Raleigh, NORTH Carolina - the Raleigh Handbell Ringers. I think they are fabulous and you are so lucky to live close to them, - I have one of their CD's which we play and sigh over at our lowly local bellringers choir.; April 19, 2011 at 1:19 PM

We were Europe and heard about the tornados when we got home. So dreadful.

Meryl said...: I love that beach photo and the play of light with the clouds, beach, and ocean.

Sorry to hear about the tornadoes. I lived in OHio growing up - we had a trampoline in the cellar so my brothers and I had fun during the tornadoes. I didn't really how dangerous they were until we saw the devastation.

Great post.; April 19, 2011 at 11:48 PM
