The End of the harbor Walk
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge, initially our collaboration was once a month but due to the popularity of it we have decided to make the collab a weekly thing :)
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
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.

at the end of the Harbor Walk
I have posted a couple of walk posts and a few other posts on the actually main part of the Harbor Walk here in New Bedford, but for this post I am heading off at the end of the walk along the Barrier Wall to where the New Bedford Side of the Hurricane wall finishes and joins up with the Fairhaven Hurricane barrier.
The hurricane Barrier was almost put to the test this week, but luckily the storm moved west and did not hit us to bad.
And funnily enough this morning I actually was walking in the same spot even this post includes shots from a previous walk there
You can see the Hurricane Barrier off to the right with all the rocks and Palmers Island to the left, I will do a post on the island soon, maybe even Thursday after this post

At the end of the last shot the road/walkway veers off along the wall to the right, you may be able to see a road heading up onto the wall in this shot, thats where they have a control station for the gates and controlling the boats coming in and out of the harbor

From near the station I mentioned looking along the top of the rock wall, its possible to walk along this , my wife and I have in the past, but since my wife's fall and broken hip she would not walk there and would prefer that I didn't, so shall I say officially I haven't walked along it :)
