Arrrgggh! Haven’t these drivers noticed they’re about to be vaporised by some giant glowing-green alien writing?!

Oh dear… Did I just mention aliens? Whoops.

Thanks to David for alerting us to the impending invasion.

Here’s an absolutely fantastic image of what can only be described as swirly sands on Core Sound at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. It seems that we’re looking at sand ridges under the water and the channels running through them. Wonderful picture, many thanks to Pat Suwalski

This is Pinehurst, North Carolina, where the 2005 U.S. Open kicked off today. Unfortunately it’s not all in high-resolution, but in the thumbnail I think we’re looking at the 18th. Just to the west is the clubhouse.

See, we can be timely…

Thanks: Rich Kemp

Someone with sharp eyes spotted this F-14 Tomcat off the coast of North Carolina.

Paramount’s Carowinds theme park is on the border of North and South Carolina. Some of the rides look great from up here – check out the giant rollercoaster at the North-West corner, which looks like it might be the wooden ‘Hurler‘. Apparently rollercoaster junkies say that wooden ‘coasters are the best…

Thanks to Adrian Likins for this one.
