    Milford, Delaware.  Maybe between 1905-1910. 

  • Delmarva Sunrise

    Sunrise this morning with the temperature at 10 degrees. According to an old sailor's adage, "Red sky in the morning, sailor take warning. Red sky at night, sailor's delight"  There is some scientific evidence for this. So, if you believe it, we will likely have some rain or snow before the day is out. Snow is forecast.

  • Cape Henlopen Lighthouse

    The Cape Henlopen Lighthouse was built in 1767 and lighted in 1769. It was 69 feet high and stood on the southern cape of Delaware Bay, near Lewes, Delaware. The light was decommissioned in 1924, at a time when the wind and water had severely eroded it's foothold on the sandy point. The lighthouse collapsed in 1926.

    The erosion around the foothold is taking its toll at this point.
