Monochrome Monday a few Recent edits
Good Morning, I hope you had a good weekend.
As I tend to do, I am starting the week with a few Monochrome edits from recent and well semi recent walks.
Starting with this one taken in the Haskell Gardens here in New Bedford of the greenhouses, the cones were there as they were taking the greenhouses down, as they had deteriorated and were apparently beyond repair. I haven't been back to the gardens for a few weeks; I wonder if they have been completely removed by now,
Personally, I think it's a pity they had to be taken down I liked them, especially the colorful one, but I must go and check out the stats and see if they have replaced them with anything interesting. Which the signs hinted at.

One day I must take the train to Boston and enjoy a day there.

This house is at the corner of Orchard and Hawthorne Streets in New Bedford. Apparently, it used to be owned by a doctor and was later set up as a bed-and-breakfast place. It is charming but needs some repairs and updates currently

And to finish of the Statue by the library, apparently when first made the man on board was based on a Cape Verdean fisherman, but before being installed those in charge wanted it to look more European, so the head was changed. Back inthe day somewhere in the city made and sold bookends with a replica of this statue, which seem to have sold well; many mentioned they had a set
