Day’s End

An 8 p.m. sunset drone shot from high above the ocean on a calm
summer evening in July 2018, overlooking Wrightsville’s South End
and Banks Channel at about South Lumina and Albright Street. To the
west across the Intracoastal Waterway are Shinn Point, Cedar Island,
and Hewletts Creek on the mainland. Coast Guard Station Wrightsville
Beach, built in 1969, can be seen in the left of the frame. This late in the
day the Ocean Rescue Squad is gone from the beachfront stands, and
just a few beachgoers remain.
