Cobblestone streets

Good Morning
When I was preparing photos for yesterdays post I did considered sharing some shots of the cobblestones streets here in NEw Bedford, but in the end I went with a tree these, but at the time I thought about how for the shots of the cobblestone streets I tend tio like editing thoise in Monochorome, it gives a timeless sort of feel, and then I thought why not edit a set of shots of the streets but keep them in color and hence this post.

NOw even though i call these cobblestone streets, strictly speaking they are made with Belgian blocks and thats what I should call them

Whats the difference you may ask, well Cobblestones and Belgian blocks are both types of granite stones used for landscaping and paving. Cobblestones are more irregular and rounded, while Belgian blocks are rectangular and more uniform

But bottomline is I still think of them as cobblestone streets and hence thats the title ;)

I guess the cars on the street take away from the timeless feel

I used to love exploring the cobblestone streets in NYC and was pleasantly surprised to find they had them here in New Bedford,. they are a bit of a pain to drive on the whole car shakes rattles and rolls, and walking onthem can be a challenge if your not paying attention especially after rain when they can be slippery
