A shrimp trawler rides a river within a river... a river of light in the cloud shadowson the Neuse River... into Oriental Harbor under skies darkened by extratropical storm 94L

I look forward to seeing the other Skywatch pictures from around the world on the other SWF sites listed at:
Today's SWF picture was taken about 1:00 p.m. local time, Thursday Sept. 25, from the Lou-Mac Park fishing pier on the Neuse River, facing southwesterly.
Extratropical storm 94L is quieting down after bringing heavy winds and a bit of rain to eastern North Carolina overnight. Rainfall in Oriental was measured at one half inch, but some gusty winds in the 40 mph range tore through town last night.
The prevailing northeast winds brought in by this storm over the past three days caused an unusually high wind tide along the coast, no exception for Oriental...

The waters rose a bit more last night, but have been dropping steadily this morning.
The center of the storm is about to go ashore near the North Carolina-South Carolina border, and should quickly dissipate, though we may be in store for more rain over the next few days.
As the remnants of the storm move up the coast, the wind will veer, and the high waters will be blown back out into Pamlico Sound.

Oh wow! That is an amazing shot. Love it so much!
What a lot of sky. have a great SF.
This is so beautiful. Very moody with a lot of feeling. It looks like a painting. I love this!
Excellant Shot!
lovely shot and love the thngy in your sidebar about where everyone lives at the end of the road and every road ends at the water... Made me grin!
That is an amazing sky photo. It shows how insignificant and small we are. Terrific capture.
Nice catch..... Great job! Reminds me the saying,,,, We never know how high we are, till we are called to rise and then, if we are true to plan our statures touch the sky... Happy Skywatch! Hope you can visit my SWF entry too...
This should be hanging on someone's wall. Way too pretty.
nice picture. I like how you captured it
I love that big expanse of grey sky. Very gloomy but striking. That rainy stuff is heading up to us in New England.
Tiny ship, big sky! A moody but stunning photo. Happy Sky Watch!
Hands down, this is one of my favorites for this week's SkyWatch Friday. Great composition...it makes you think....
Thanks for sharing!!!
Like sailing into a dream or into the deep recesses of your mind. Just lovely.
wow- was it chilly!? Nice dense shot. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Ahoy! I am sure you know more than two cloud types being a fisherman. I hope you fared well through Invest 94L. Looks like still some feed out in the Atlantic though the center of circulation is ashore. I heard the waves were massive. Be safe! Beautiful sky!
What a treat to see the other side of the state! It reminds me of The Perfect Storm...towering clouds and a "tiny" boat. Outstanding capture!
