Here is another photo from the trip. I still have a lot of pictures to go through.
Lots more photos from our trip to Asheville North Carolina to come!
Captured with my Canon 7d Mk2 and Tamron 70-300 lens. I was able to get some decent detail when photographing the moon this morning. I did use Adobe Lightroom to sharpen up that detail and correct the coloring a little.
I still have a few photos left from our trip to the BBQ festival last weekend so I decided I should bore everyone with more photos from Kinston.
A museum for the CSS Neuse, a Confederate ship from the civil war, was allowing people in for free. Of course we had to check it out. Apparently the Confederates scuttled it because they didn’t want the Union Army to get their hands on it after they lost the city. It never traveled more than a mile from where it was built. They set it on fire in the Neuse River and that is where it remained for almost a century. In the 60’s it was found and the recovery process began. Eventually 15,000 artifacts were recovered.
I was surprised that the wood looked as good as it did after being underwater for almost 100 years.
And the final image is just a candid shot of an artist at the festival working with a piece of wood.
As always, thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
As mentioned in the post I made yesterday, Nancy and I went to a BBQ festival this weekend. We were a bit disappointed as we were expecting to find amazing BBQ being smoked all over the venue. Maybe we got there to late/early but this was not the case. We still managed to get some traditional North Carolina pulled pork but it was from a catering company and not some amazing southern pit-master with crazy family secrets.
Despite the lack of BBQ we still had fun. We had never been to Kinston and the historic downtown section where the festival took place was interesting and I am glad we went. Personally my favorite part of the festival was the car show. We arrived as it was wrapping up but there were still plenty of cars to admire. I didn’t take many photos as it was mid afternoon and the lighting was harsh. The weather was perfect for walking around though so I can’t complain. These are the best of the shots I did take.
