A walk in the historic district of New Bedford
A walk in the historic district of New Bedford , but of course as it is a Monday keeping with my habit and sharing mono images
These photos are from a couple of walks in the last few days
I should make a note here when I say in a post the last couple of days as I prepare my posts generally a week or so in advance strictly speaking when you read the post its a week or so ago
but that's probably waffling so lets get to the photos
both of these days I parked down by the port, one day I was there well before the blue hour would start and so I walked up into the historic district to get some shots of the cobblestone streets, such as this first photo

I do love taking photos of them but driving over them is a pain hence why I park at the port if I am planning to walk in this area

This next shot is the drive through part of the Bristol County Savings bank
I was taking some of these shots with the aperture at F22, to catch this star effect on the bright lights

Next up I am back down by the port and got a shot of this building the Bourne Counting house

The Bourne Counting house is the only remaining building on the New Bedford wharf that was built in the 1800s (1847). The owner was Edward Merrill, but the building got its current name due to its use as a counting house by wealthy whaling merchant Jonathan Bourne until the 1880s. A counting house is simply the term used for an office where a business carries out its daily operations, often in regards to accounting and other financial matters.
and to finish off another shot at the port, I often walk out on this dock to take a photo from the end of the boats, and I don't think I have ever taken a shot from this perspective till now
