Mono Monday Historic District New Bedford

Mono Monday Historic District New Bedford

Good morning all, another work week begins and wish you all a good one

Which is funny I should say that I have been retired for close to three years now but still think of Monday as the beginning of the work week.

and as I am of the habit to do I am starting the week with a Mono post, this week I am sharing a few shots taken on a walk in the historic District here in New Bedford.

Starting with this shot of the stairs and entrance to one of the buildings, I think this is one of the entrances to the city hall.

And next up a shot of the First Unitarian Church
AS you may have noticed I call these photos mono and not B&W as I try to do some variety in the style of the edits, in levels of contrast, brightness and the shade I edit it
I tried a different style with this shot.

The Church which is Norman Gothic in style, was designed by architects Alexander Jackson Davis and Russell Warren. Constructed in 1838 at a cost of about $40,000, it required 7,000 tons of granite, some blocks weighing as much as eight tons.
The style of the interior details are Gothic, yet the spaciousness of the well-lighted interior and the simplicity and precision of the decorative elements have much in common with the Greek revival designs of same period.

In 1868 a chapel was added behind the church. In 1896 the Parish House was constructed with a style of architecture matching the original church building. In 1955 office space and meeting rooms were constructed in the basement.

This next building is the visitors Center, I am not sure what they have in there I probably should checkit out sometime, but I kind of prefer discovering a place just by walking and exploring

The buildings are really stunning in black and white.😍 I'm sure you love to work since you still think Monday is a work day for you. That's nice!

Hello dear friend @tattoodjay good day
When one works for many years under a dependency relationship, it is almost impossible to forget labor traditions
What a beautiful place to visit and learn about these historic buildings and all their history. Great shots, appreciate you sharing with us
Have an excellent week

Trying different ways of editing in photos really makes many.and different and more beautiful photos.

Indeed I think so and helps me to keep some variety in my feed

Man those shots could be from a hundred years ago when the whole world was black & white. Except for the fantastic resolution and contrast that is.

Great history lesson too!

Than is what I love about mono images they can give such a timeless feel
