What to do in Manns Harbor, NC

Activities, attractions and tours

https://arjungupta.photography/#/gallery/surreality I am fascinated by lone subjects and capturing them as part of a landscape. I guess subjects like that are a reflection of my own self, experiencing this life in their own subjective ways. This is a theme that occurs commonly in my images because it’s something I’m naturally drawn to. Taken in the swampy grasslands of Eastern North Carolina, where trees are not very common, this one tree seems to be an exception in what is otherwise a marshy grassland. The skies here are wonderfully dark, devoid of the pollution of big city lights. The mist in the air, along with the Milky Way Galaxy, the airglow, and the streaking meteor together give the whole image a very surreal and impressionist feel.
