A nice sunrise at Fort Phoenix
Good morning, I hope life is treating you well
For todays post I am sharing a few shots I took on an early morning visit to the Fort Phoenix State Reservation in Fairhaven, a neighboring city to where I live in New Bedford
I visit there maybe once a month or so its a nice spot and even though not a huge park its big enough for me to walk back and forth between photos and get my steps in for the day.
Now I am not a warmonger, in fact the opposite but when ever i visit this park the first spot I walkup to is by the cannons

people of all ages I am sure love Fort Phoenix for its mix of history, beauty, and fun outdoor activity options . especially in summer to spend sunny days on the beach.
Beyond the beach, enjoy Fort Phoenix’s grassy park, which is a great place for a waterfront picnic on a warm evening. But the real draw here is historic Fort Phoenix, managed by the town of Fairhaven. This was the site of the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War. Today, it’s a popular destination for local history buffs.
The hurricane barrier that stretches across New Bedford Harbor is another unique feature at Fort Phoenix to discover. Separating the inner harbor from Buzzards Bay’s open waters, this U.S. Army Corps of Engineers structure is a popular place to take a leisurely stroll. Walk or bike along the half-mile paved walkway and enjoy unique views as boats motor past.

these shots are from a couple of visits there, hence the mix of some dark moody skies and some more clear and colorful skies
