WWII Artillery Fire Observation Towers
The WWII Artillery Fire Observation Towers at Cape Henlopen stand as silent sentinels along Delaware’s Atlantic coast, offering photographers a unique blend of history and coastal scenery. Originally constructed to spot enemy ships and coordinate artillery fire during World War II, these tall concrete structures now provide elevated vantage points perfect for panoramic shots of the shoreline, dunes, and ocean. Their weathered surfaces and distinctive cylindrical shapes create compelling subjects for both architectural and historical photography. Access is easy via trails in Cape Henlopen State Park, with some towers open to the public for interior views and elevated photography. Early morning and late afternoon light enhance the textures of the towers and the surrounding natural beauty. (Cape Henlopen, Delaware, USA)
