WW: Inside WWII Observation Tower at Fort Miles

Fort Miles Tower Photo
"Do not allow to slip away from you freedoms the people who came before you won with such hard knocks."
 - D. H. Lawrence

I took this spiral shot from the bottom of the #7 observation tower at Cape Henlopen State Park after my mom and I climbed it a few weeks ago. The fire control tower was built at Fort Miles to spot enemy ships during World War II, thus I thought it appropriate to share before Memorial Day.

    That is very cool. How long did it take to climb it?

      The tower is about 5 stories high, so the climb didn't take too long. We were there about a half an hour, but that included stopping to take pictures.

    nice shot!! I have a similar shot from a staircase when I was in a Paris hotel. They really like their narrow, spiral staircases there.

That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
