North Carolina: simply beautiful

North Carolina is a place that stirs the senses and awakens the spirit. This gracious southern state is defined not by random lines of longitude an latitude, but more by its welcoming people, fascinating history, and beautiful landscape. Photographer Robb Helfrick has captured these qualities skillfully in this series of striking photographs. From the highlands of the west through the rolling hills of the Piedmont, to the wetlands along the coast, North Carolina carries itself with a gentle grace and subtle grandeur.
