Early morning at the port
Good Morning and wishing you a good day
Today I will share a few shots from an early morning walk at the port.
But before getting to the photos I want to ask a question, do you find you get out more for walks or taking photos in a particular season, or less in a season
for me I dont think there is a season I get out more, perhaps spring, as to answer the second of my questions i get out less in winter, now in my 60s it sees each year I feel the cold more, where maybe 10 years ago I would head out in any temp with layer son I was fine, but now once winter hoits I find myself getting out less if the temp is near or below freezing no matter how many layers i put on I find it to cold for me and stay happy well happy ish as I do miss takingphotos but happy and warm
OK now onto the photos

there sure are a lot of commercial fishing boats here, back in the day New Bedford was a huge whaling port and one of if not the richest city inthe world, it has sure dropped down the richest list but is still a busy fishing port
Today the Port of New Bedford/Fairhaven is the largest fishing port in the northeast, and has been the nation's most valuable fishing port for the past sixteen years
I could not find recent numbers but I did find that
New Bedford ranked No. 1 for the value of seafood landed at its port for the 20th consecutive year in 2019, with $451 million worth of fish hauled in by its boats.
