#Wednesday Walk Art around New Bedford
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge, initially our collaboration was once a month but due to the popularity of it we have decided to make the collab a weekly thing :)
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
Following on from yesterdays post, I went for a walk to see some of the pieces I found listed in the display down by the port.
Startign with this piece in Custom House Square in the city Centre here in New Bedford, it is called Threshold and is by Merk Reigelman

these art pieces are hosted by DATMA and are an exhibit called Shelter 2023

What I found really cool about the threshold piece the colors are different on each side of viewing the door

Perhaps a simple concept but placed in a green area like this I find it quite striking

The next piece I will share with you is by an artist Maxwell Emcays and entitled New Bedford: our woven story

I will be honest I did not find it as striking as the first piece in the dull morning light, but it is lit up at night and probably looks a lot more striking and eye catching then

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.
