a Walk in downtown New Bedford
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
Today I will share a few shots I took in the Historic district downtown here in New Bedford, with perhaps the excveption of the first shot, some of the iconic sights in the area.
I took these recently, I was driving to drop the grandkids off home one day and drove past and saw a couple of these sights, and thought I have walked or driven by these many times and not sure ever taken a photo of two of them so I went out the next morning with that goal in mind.
but lets start with the exception, in the early morning, darkness as I crossed over from the port where I had parked, this lamp in a shop window caught my eye, so I crossed over to get a shot of it
Made me think of the Movie a Christmas story and the lamp being a Major Prize

and after that I got distracted and went the longer way than I needed to to get to the spots I wanted to catch, and passed by this fountain beside a little park, I have tried to get shots of it before but generally have not been happy with them. But I think I caught it well this time

and the sign for the Whaling historical park, being early morning i needed a longer exposure and hence the blurry flags

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.
This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.
Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.
Try and get a few shots not just one
Add a bit of a write up about where you walked
Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week
You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.
Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss
Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .
Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.
I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules
I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.
I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.
