    Sunrise at Fort Phoenix

    Good Morning all and I hope life is treatign you well

    Today I am going to share a few shots from an early morning walk at Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven, It is a former American Revolutionary War-era fort located at the entrance to the Fairhaven-New Bedford harbor, south of U.S. 6 in Fort Phoenix Parkand although I most often share photos of the hurrivane barrier walls and the cannons there the park is a lot more thna that it is around 28 Acres in size and also includes a beach, which I often walk, and especially do if I happen to visit there on a morning with a nice sunrise which is what I will fcus on for todays post.

    Standing on the beach, looking over some seagrass as some nice colors started to appear

    This next shot is near the car park, But the gates to the park were locked when I got there So I parked out onthe road and walked into the park strictly speaking ignoring a sign saying no parking onthe street before 6 Am and I got there at 5:30 but I didnt get a ticket so it was all good
