Sunrise at Fort Phoenix

Good Morning, I hope loife is treating you all well

I was goignthrough my photos and came across some from October last year of a sunrise walk I took at Fort phoenix in Fairhaven MA a neighbouring city to where I live that I had imported but never edited any photos from this walk, which surprised me as looking at these photos it was such a beautioful sunrise that morning, I can only guess I was busy that day and pullked thephotos off the camera onto the computer then forgot all about them

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

With the name Fort Phoenix, you may be wondring with these shots as it looks more like a beach, well the Fort phoenix Reservation does have a small area with some cannons, but it also has a nice longish beach to enjoy for a nice walk and thats what I am focusing on today

Beautiful shots as always. I thought we were going to have a sunrise like that yesterday, but then it kind of fizzled on us and became quite basic. I had my eye on the Eastern sky anyway just in case!

thanks, I hoped this morning for a nice sunrise, the clouds according to the weather apps seems to be ideal, but alas it wasnt to be so grey and damp
