Early Morning at the fort
Good Morning and have a good day
Today I am sharing a few shots from an Early morning walk at Fort Taber Park here in New Bedford
I was lucky enough that morning to catch a lovely sunrise
Starting with a shot of Fort Rodman with the sunrise colors in the background

Also known as the Old Stone Fort, Fort Rodman (known as "Fort at Clark's Point" until 1898) began construction in 1857 under the third system of US fortifications, and in 1862 construction became overseen by Henry Robert, author of Robert's Rules of Order and an Army Corps of Engineers officer. The fort, as built, had emplacements for 72 cannon in three tiers; a fourth tier was originally planned, but this was removed from the design to allow more timely completion. Construction was halted in 1871, and the fort as planned was never completed.
Sadly its not in good shape these days and they do not allow people to go inside the fort, I hope that one day they may restore it

I do love catching a nice sunrise over the water so took a few shots on the beach in the park
Looking back towards New Bedford, only subtle colors in the sky this way

But looking towards the pier, some lovely warm colors in the sky and reflected on the water
For getting steps in a duller day is better and I do loops around the fort, but when there are nice color sinthe sky I often head to this beach and get a few shots, and hence take less steps
