Fort Taber New Bedford

I still haven't got out for any photo walks yet, so sharing a few shots of a walk Lulu and I did around Fort Taber last year, and we had planned to go for a walk thee today, we have a couple of appointments but hopefully this afternoon we may be able to visit there, I have prepared for the chance we get out for a walk and have my camera batteries on charge sitting idle for a few months they were pretty flat.

Starting with a shot of a rock wall there and some nice sunset colors

And next up the fort itself and showing one of the walkways in the area, its a good spot for our first walk as with having had a broken and now a replacement hip Lulu is a bit worried about walking the trails we had visited last year as the paths in the trails can be slippery in places and she did slipa couple of times, so I do understand that but am more than happy to go on walks in places like Fort Taber where there are nice smooth walkways which will be easier for her

Fort Taber District or the Fort at Clark's Point is a historic American Civil War-era military fort on Wharf Road within the former Fort Rodman Military Reservation in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The fort is now part of Fort Taber Park, a 47-acre town park located at Clark's Point. Fort Taber was an earthwork built nearby with city resources and garrisoned 1861-1863 until Fort Rodman was ready for service.
It is at the end of a point with lots of views over the water so a greta place to walk and get some fresh air

We did visit there a couple of times and these shots are from both visits so hence the different skies in the shots

How in NYC I miss it at times

Went out last night. It’s open with limited seating everywhere but it’s fucking lame
Crime is nuts

Its kind of sad to think of it like that, Mind you I was more an early morning explore the city person didnt like the crowds at night and pplus lived out of the city

I’m
With ya

Just mention going out cause it has been a minute. I went for walk at 5am and it’s legit weird out here. I don’t feel safe in half the streets I used to walk early morning

All that said I love my City

Needles are on ground everywhere. It’s pretty crazy how fast it’s gotten bad But I think it’s being overblown how many people are leaving. That said I moved 45 min north.

That’s sad to hear hopefully it bounces back

It should , but definitely not a sure thing in my opinion.

Wow! That leading shot is stunning! I love the colors and just the way the entire scene envelopes you in the colors!

There is so much Revolutionary/Civil War History up there, it will keep you in content for the rest of your life! Hi, JJ! Good seeing you strolling the waves now!

I hope you have a great day!

Thanks and you to have a great day

Absolutely! Cloudy skies. Boo!

Same here and rain coming soon

Ours was a dump and run. It is bright sunshine most of the day, except it is 15 degrees cooler than yesterday!

rain has threatened but not started yet,
dropping to freezing overnight

Good to see you here, my friend... :) And great news that Lulu is going on walks with you too!
Hadn't noticed you were back for a couple of posts - just caught this now. Hope all is good with you, take care

Just getting back into it on here
Hopefully today will be our first walk together

@ackhoo Will you ever post again? XOXO

love the sunset shots

Magnificent photos JJ and please tell Lulu that she is not alone with having to walk on smooth paths, as lately my knee is packing up and it is bone to bone. The cartilege is gone and I cannot tell you how sore it is when the two bones meet on a walk.

The great news is that she can walk with the new hip and the future looks great.

Blessings.

Thanks My Frind, and i know what you mean about the knees I dont think mine are as bad as yours but I feel them

Wow, this looks like a really beautiful area. I love all of these little (and big) forts along the coast of the Atlantic states. I know I have visited a few of them down south. I am not sure if we went to any of the northern ones when we were travelling. Very cool stuff!

It is a really nice spot fir a walk and fresh air
And I to love old firtsy

Love these photos! Truly amazing.

Thanks kindly

You are welcome!

All your photos in this post are telling me that you are a professional photographer. You shot very well and the result is amazing! Thank you very much for sharing with us your great work. Regards from Indonesia.

Thanks kindly
Not a professional but perhaps a serious amateur 👍🙂👍

Very sturdy looking fort, the evening sky captures more for the imagination, powerful streaked wind blown tapestries above.

Walking on flat ground will certainly assist Lulu becoming more mobile, my sister-in-law took awhile now managing a lot easier than shortly after her hip op.

Have a wonderful day once done with appointments, yes it's time to get some photography again!

It’s looking good for a walk today nice out just hope the tire shop doesn’t take to long

Nice work.

Thanks kindly

Your photos are beautiful @tattoodjay. I am doubly impressed with Lulu's mobility after a broken hip. Enjoy your walk when you get out.

Yes she is doing so well with her hip still cautious naturally,
and her hands have improved so much still a long way to go but she is getting there

Such a beautiful spot to visit, lovely that it is close enough for you to go on your walks there! Here's hoping that you'll get out for those walks soon!

Soon we will onceit warms up a little more ;)

Sorry my upvote is not worth much yet. I love your photographic eye. You always make places look so enticing!

Thanks 🙏 very kind of you to say
I am enjoying getting back into editing been watching tutorials and just bought a graphics tablet so trying new things

OMG your compositions dude, it's just awesome, like that first shot...But you know it right? 😁

Thanks, and I am always critical of my own photos, so not sure I do know that but I appreciate you saying it ;)

Wow, that first shot is crazy!
Nice to see you around, hope all is well.
