Wednesday Walk small details on a walk in Fairhaven MA
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
I am glad to report this week I am sharign a walk from just a day ago, we had a nice day the temp climbed to 60F and was nice so I grabbed my camera bag and decided to head out for a walk, and drove to the neighboring city Fairhaven to take as stroll and get some new photos.
Now I perhaps should have rearranged the lens I took with me as I went with three lenses in my bag and it was a little heavy especially with my shoulder playing up at the moment, but as it happenned I used all three on my walk so glad I took them my shoulder not so much it was complaining to me for the rets of the day, but that said today is also a nice day so I may well head out again
But back to yesterdays walk, I went to Fairhaven has they have an area with some cool old buildings I wanted to get shots of.
But when I came to qusaickly edit soem photos to share in this post, I decided rather than going for shots of the buildings, I would focus on some of the cool details I saw on the walk, and will edit the other photos at some stage for a future post or three
Starting with these cool lights which were by the entrance to one of the shops there, a maritime related shop

Now I said earlier that Fairhaven was a city but its infact a town, as these lights are one the Town hall,i love old style lamps like these especially when I can get them with cool shadows as well

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.

Hello Mr. @tattoodjay, good morning.
What a beautiful place you visited! The neighboring town has some very interesting things to photograph. The antique lamp is truly beautiful.
Beautiful photographs.
thanks was great to get a walk in and see so many cool details
Yes, spring is approaching, and temperatures are rising, even though there's still snow in Montreal. But it will be good to see a little green... Nice photos, especially for the Memento Mori style sundial.
Have a great day
thanks for lettign me know the style of the sundial, I didnt know the term till now :)
thanks for letting me know the style of the sundial, I didnt know the term till now :)
Wow, those lamps really are impressive. Especially the ones on the city hall. It's crazy to think that they were probably all done by hand if they are the original ones.
arent they so cool, they sure had style and skilled craftsmen back then
Nice pictures
I will be joining the challenge
Thanks for sharing
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
Good morning, dear friend @tattoodjay
I'm so glad you were able to go for a walk and visit this neighboring city, and that you were able to take these beautiful shots.
Have a lovely Wednesday walk.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
I sure did enjoy getting out for a nice walk
Have a great day
It was wonderful to see you take that little walk! It sounds like you had a wonderful time enjoying the lovely weather and capturing some amazing details with your camera! It really highlights your passion for the field! Fairhaven is so charming and full of character! I really appreciate how you highlighted those little details instead of just the big picture. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your work, especially those vintage lamps and the church!
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
I am a super fan of the sculptures and the lampposts and they are spectacular images, my favourite is the second one, I was delighted!!!! Hugs!
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
You too!
Good night!

These are cool shots Jay. I love old style lamps ... As for the hat.
Well over here, they just love to adorn Queen Victoria statues with orange traffic cones on her head.
thanks, and I dont think I ever say her statues withthe cones in my visits there,
It is much popular in Scotland. I know they do in London for New Year but here they do at any time, any statue you will find a drunk student clambering up to put a cone. I have to laugh when it goes viral that they fell while trying to put a cone on a statue!
I did a google search after my comment yesterday and saw some of those videos had me chuckling away
Hehe yeah it has been going on for years!
Am so glad the weather behaved well and you got a chance to go out for these absolutely beautiful pictures. Do keep that camera ready as warmer months are coming up. Thank you for sharing and stay blessed :}
Thanks today I may be able to get out for a walk, will all depend how my shoulder feels if I take my camera :)
There's a lot of fun stuffs to see in there, it surely is a fun walk. Those street lamps is so pretty, and so is those sculpture in there.
