A walk in Oak Grove Cemetery New Bedford MA

This post if for Wednesday walk challenge Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)

This week I will share a few photos I took in Oak Grove Cemetery, here in New Bedford, MA.

The reason I took a walk there during the day was that the wind gust knocked over my tripod and camera, which I mentioned in a previous post. Well, after checking it at home and it looked OK, other than some chips off the lens frame, and everything otherwise seemed to be working well. I decided to take a walk here during the day, which is close to home, to make sure everything was OK, and thankfully it all seems to be good.

The cemetery covers 100 acres and, established in 1855 and designed by Josiah Brown, it was modeled after Cambridge’s Mount Auburn Cemetery. It was built to serve as a peaceful park for the living as well as a final resting place for the dead. Families used to gather here for Victorian-era picnics.

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.

This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines

Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.

Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.

Try and get a few shots not just one

Add a bit of a write up about where you walked

Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week

You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.

Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss

Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .

Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.

I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.
