Little did I know when I was a teenager growing up in New Zealand, that one day here I would be seeing the Seamans Bethel here in New Bedford, which was the inspiration for the Whalesmen Chapel, in the book Moby Dick. And beside it the Mariners home.

The most beautiful journeys aren't always seamless. Much like the swing truss bridge between New Bedford and Fairhaven, life sometimes encounters mechanical or other hitches that force us to slow down, but those pauses are just part of what makes life interesting. Keep moving

There is nothing quite like the calm of an early morning in New Bedford. 🌅 Caught this quiet moment at the docks the other day. Does anyone else love heading out for sunrise photography or walks as much as I do? #photography #eastcoastkin #newEngland #NewBedfordMA #nautical #sunrise

The Star store an iconic building in the city, grom its historic roots as a bustling 19th-century dry goods shop and iconic 1915 Beaux-Arts department store, to its beloved decades as the UMass Dartmouth arts campus, the historic Star Store at 715 Purchase Street

Looking out over the pier at Fort Taber In these crazy days with it seems to me so much negativity I got thinking about this quote from Jane Goodall What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. #eastcoastkin #newEngland #NewBedfordMA

Starting the day with this vibrant display over the docks. The quiet moments before the hustle begins are always the most rewarding, well, at least for me, I know not everyone is an early morning person. Have a good day #MorningLight #LandscapePhotography #NewBedfordHarbor

Photography is my ultimate escape, where every photo walk doubles as a refreshing workout getting my daily steps in and a peaceful unwind, turning the camera into my favorite way to recharge so for me its pleasure rather than a job Even on more moody mornings such as when I took this photo
