Here's the photos I took at the FirstState Woodturners meeting on 2013-07-10

First State National Historical Park @ Wilmington, Delaware

Camera 360

A view of the Atlantic Ocean from the view-slit of a WWII coastal defense observation tower. The dune in the foreground rises to a fortified gun emplacement that once held a large-gun battery whose fire was to be directed with information from this and a network of other towers. This is part of the Fort Miles portion of Delaware's Cape Henlopen State park.

I had not noticed this before; I think it is somewhat new. It sits in the basement at Legislative Hall, in Dover. I know this has been a contentious time lately in state politics, but are we haviong major blood-pressure problems in the Hall?

Part of the 5K course was along a dirt road around the edges of farm fields that have been left fallow, added to state park lands, and are turning back to woods and meadows.

Someone's drop-shape decoration was left behind on a tree. Someone else hung it here.

This used to be a more shady spot, before Tropical Storm Ernesto came through. Related blog post.

Dewey Beach, Delaware, USA

Dewey Beach lies on a small strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay, is about one mile long and two blocks wide. Despite its small size and low year-round population of about 300, it is not uncommon for 30,000 to descend upon the town during summer weekends. Numerous bars and restaurants line Coastal Highway (Delaware Route 1), the town's main street.

The town of Dewey Beach, Delaware is a frequent summer vacation destination for Washington, D.C., residents (121.78 miles / 2 hrs 46 mins from The White House)

Delaware it the second-smallest state in the United States after Rhode Island.

The town hosts the Dewey Beach Music Conference during the last weekend of September. This event began in 2002 and has been a huge draw for unsigned bands from all over the country.

In 2011, the NRDC Natural Resources Defense Council awarded Dewey Beach with a 5-Star rating in water quality.

It is believed that the name was given to Dewey Beach following the 1898 Battle of Manilla (Spanish–American War) when Admiral George Dewey became a national hero.
