Henlopen Park is situated between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, DE. Gordon's Pond is a preserve within the park area. Besides a trail for hiking around the pond it's relatively unspoiled.
In early spring not much foliage has begun to turn green. The water still reflects the towering pines on a still afternoon.
Across the pond you can see the watch towers that rest between the pond and the ocean. There are several of these towers along the Delaware coast.
A closer pic of one of the towers directly on the beach.

Even though we weren't allowed to get directly up to the columns you can see how massive they are. These pillars are all that remains from the Temple of Olympian Zues.
Like so many other places of historic importance, you're bound to see scaffolding and maintenance taking place. The Parthenon, built on the Acropolis, has extensive restoration taking place. Even so, it was extremely impressive.
