Good Morning
Still havent bene out ffor any new morning walks so today I am sharing an early morning walk I took at Fort pHoenix in Fairhaven MA I took last year
Often when I share photos from visits there I focus nmore ofn the guns/cannons there, but some times I am lucky enough to catch a nice sunrise there, and pretty mych on every visit take a nice stroll back and forth along the beach, and out on the hurricane barrier wall so will focus on those for todays post
Starting with the beach, not a spectacular sunrise that morning but a nice glow onthe horizon

a little bit about Fort Phoenix
Fort Phoenix 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 Park in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The fort was originally built in 1775 without a name, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Just off the fort, in Buzzards Bay, was the first naval engagement of the American Revolution, the Battle off Fairhaven on 14 May 1775.
On 5–6 September 1778, the fort was destroyed by the British when they raided the harbor. A force under Major Israel Fearing drove off the British, both at the fort and when they attempted an attack on the town the next day. The fort was then renamed Fort Fearing.In 1784 it was given the name "Fort Phoenix" after the mythical bird that rose from its own ashes
I mentioned the hurrican barrier wall and here it is, like on the New Bedford side of it, which this portion joins to with some gates that open to allow ships rto pass but close if a big storm is coming to protect the area, they have added a walk way on top of it, so I walk from the vcar park to the end of this side of the wall and then..
