A few different shots at the Fort

A few different shots at the Fort

Today I am sharing a few shots from a walk I took at Fort Taber Park here in New Bedford, a spot i have been visiting a lot recently as it is both a nice spot for photos with the beach and the fort, but also its a great spot for getting my steps in when I go there.

But for this post I on a recent walk though i should try and get some different shots from the ones i normally do and those are what I will share here today

Starting with this shot of the Entrance to the fort, I took this after walking out onto East Beach which is next to the park,

A little about the park

A 50-acre waterfront park that provides over a mile of ocean frontage located on the southern peninsula of the city which projects into Buzzards Bay. The park incorporates historical landmarks, offers many amenities and various opportunities for passive and active recreation.

The centerpiece of the park is the historic Fort Taber, built between 1857 and 1871 as part of the nation’s sea coast defense system. The fort is highlighted with interpretive signage and a military museum. There is over one mile of walking, jogging or biking paths, natural areas, a beach for bathing, a pier for fishing, a playground, community boating, a youth summer day program, and picnic areas offering panoramic views. The park is handicap accessible including a newly installed Braille trail. A large multi-purpose lawn allows for cultural programming, such as military reenactments and public concerts.

That round structure is pretty cool. It looks like they have a light or two out in the one photo. These are some cool perspectives that give the park a different look! Very cool!

Yeah I am intrigued as to what that round structure is for, and well spotted about three of the lights were out the last time I was there

I would put money on it being a Martello Tower
They were common in the British Emopire.

Yeah I have seen a few of them dotted around the world. Big thick walls and easier to defend.
