Recently I saw on farcebook a post about someone walking on a trail called the Mattapoisett Rail trail, which I had thought was a biking path and was not sure if it was also open for walkers, but seeing that post I realized it was the the next morning went to check it out.
It was dark when I got there and I was using my torch initially, and then had the idea to get out my other torch which does colors and try light painting the fence which lead to this first shot

Its a long trail I think I read 4.5 miles and joins up with the Phoenix bike trail in Fairhaven, I am not sure if thats included in the 4.5 Miles or in addition
I only walked a portion of the trail maybe 2 Miles, I was tempted to walk the whole trail, but then it came to me that would be 4.5 miles out and then have to walk it back and that would take me longer than I planned to be out, but I did love the portion of the trail I saw
This next shot is from a similar spot to the first one, it was very misty and foggy that morning, in fact my camera lens was covered in small spots of water from the mist and I had to keep cleaning off the lens between shots

Weekly giveaway of shares
This week I am sending to the following who joined Wednesday Walk, for this week I did a random draw and the following each received some Hive @joetunex @mdrguez, @brandt @janaveda @grocko
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.
