Best Cottages Tidewater Region in 2026

My first attempt at a serious panorama of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse provides an ideal location since it faces the right direction to compose such a panorama while maintaining the balance in the image.

This shot is composed of 6 vertical shots shot at 30 degrees of rotation and merged in Photoshop. Added to the usual difficulties of shooting and composing a panorama at night, this night was crazy hot with nighttime temperature in the mid 80s, no breeze and humidity so high that the lens had to be wiped after every exposure. On top of it, the mosquitoes had a field day running rings around me and no amount of bug spray helped. But in spite of all that, I managed to walk away with an image and experience that does appeal to me.

Hilton Vacation Club Greensprings Williamsburg

10/10 Excellent

"Place was great. Will be visiting again and again. "

Vacation Village At Williamsburg

6/10 Okay

"The hot water in our unit only worked for 2 minutes before going cold. Maintenance showed up and left without explaining anything. We had to boil water to take a semi hot bath. This used to be one of my favorites until this incident. The first indicator was that that the unit downstairs was left empty as if the tenants had a similar issues and abruptly left, leaving the door wide open.. Meaning that the staff already knew about this issue and sold the room anyway. Just my assumption but hey I’ve only been here 10 plus visits. What do I know."
