The Wright Brothers Memorial in Kill Devil Hills is bleak and beautiful at the same time. The first photo shows the buildings in which they worked and lived for the period of time over 3 years that they experimented with gliders and eventually powered flight on the sand dunes of the Outer Banks.



The next shot is of the approach to the memorial itself.
When you are up on the hill you can see this amazing bronze replica of the Wright flyer with Orville at the controls that was erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of the first flights.
