Oblique aerial photographs of the Delaware Seashore State Park

Detailed Description

Oblique aerial photographs of the Delaware Seashore State Park, Delware. View looking west along the Delaware shore. Storm surge and waves eroded the low dunes in this location and deposited the sand on and landward of the road. Just days after the storm, road crews have removed the sand from the road and bulldozed a replacement dune in the approximate location of the original dune. At the left of the image, signs of beach scrapping, bulldozing sand from lower on the beach to create dunes, can also be seen. And, at the bottom of the picture, the shoreline lies on the seaward side of a sand bar that has welded to the post-storm shoreline. The yellow arrow in each image points to the same feature.
