Life Guard towers

Good Morning all I hope life is treating you all well

When I get out for walks on a beach I find myself somewhat fascinated by Lifeguard towers which you may have noticed, if I share a post about a walk on a beach if their is a lifeguard tower there I will share a shot of it, but I realized I had a few I had taken and never shared so I thought why not do another post just about Lifeguard towers.

starting with this one on East beach here in New Bedford

Now perhaps I should explain why I find them so interesting which I was just thinking about and perhaps it is my trying to revisit my youth, when I was in my teens I used to be a bit obsessed about being fit for sport, particularly rugby and would bike to the beach about a 3 Mile ride, and swim and run for an hour or more before biking back home and getting ready for school.

Well one morning when I was maybe 16 as I was running along the beach I ran by some surf life guards out training in the early morning, and saw then again later as I got out of the water after my swim.
The head of the group called me over and asked me if I had ever been interested in training as a lifeguard, which I hadn't but being impetuous and young I said but why not and ended up training and volunteering as a lifeguard for a couple of summers.
Well thats my not so short story of why I like taking photos of them LOL

Next up is another one in Mattapoisett
