Original Windbreak at Ames Park - a photo on Flickriver

            This shot was taken on Christmas of 2014, when the original windbreak was still standing at Ames Park. As you can see, it was already suffering damage to the ornamentation, and apparently, after the hurricanes of 2016 and 2017, they decided to remove it. When I went to the park this year for either Mother's Day or my mother's birthday, it was gone!

Returning to Ames Park this Christmas was a happy experience. The waterlilies seemed to be returning to the ponds, and the windbreak was back in place, the old one having served as a replica for the new. The new one is boxier than this one that has been worn with time and weather, but should stand for decades to come. I will post the new one next.

Ames Park was owned by a family back in the early to mid 1900's. The Ames family had created a wonderful garden retreat, with seawalls and this windbreak, which would have allowed family and visitors alike to enjoy a little sun on the more blustery days in the Fall and Winter months. Eventually, the land was left to the City of Ormond Beach, and has been one of the nicer parks in the north end of the Daytona Beach area. With gardens, ponds and river views, it is one of my favorite places.
