A few shots from semi-recent walks in the New Bedford MA area

This post is for the Wednesday walk challenge Any questions about the challenge? Read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)

Again I have had to dig into my archives from recent walks for this weeks post, even thought today I am feeling better and have actully managed to add 1/2 a pound inb the last couple of days I am still not at 100% energy after recent issues, and I did promise my wife no photo walks till I see the Dr tommorrow ( again as I write this, a week ago as you read it). But luckily I do know that over winter I do not get out much so for the rest of the year I take plenty of photos to hopefully get me through winter, so let's hope I do have enough to keep sharing through winter.

Starting with a photo of this Church on County Street here in New Bedford. The St. James parish was established in 1888 by Bishop Matthew Harkins to serve the rapidly expanding English-speaking Catholic population in New Bedford's South End. This growth was driven by the booming local textile mill industry.

Designed by the prominent architectural firm Maginnis, Walsh & Sullivan, construction on the monumental Gothic Revival-style stone structure began in 1902 and was completed in 1904. It stands as a landmark at the corner of County and Rivet streets. Due to shifting demographics and changing parish sizes within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River, St. James Parish was later merged with the nearby Our Lady of Guadalupe parish. The building was retained and renamed to Our Lady of Guadalupe at St. James Church to reflect the unified community

This spot is at the end of East Beach, some of the locals callit monkey island, but i have no idea wht, when I search onine for Monkey island here it all refers to Palmers island, which kinds of makes sense with it being an island.

And this house is in Fairhaven at 22 Taber St, and built around 1900

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.

unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.
