Cobblestone streets

I mentioned in my Market Friday post how it was cool there is an area here in downtown New Bedford that has cobblestone streets in this post I will share a few,
But speaking of Market Fridya hosted by @dswigle, do not forget that tomorrow is Friday and hence a good day to do a Market Friday post.

Now one thing I loved about Walking around NYC was coming across some cobblestone streets which I loved getting shots of, so it was cool to see them in our new home city :)

Now generally when I take shots of cobblestone streets in the past I liked going with Mono edits as I thought it worked well with them, but for these shots I found for some of them I liked a color edit such as this next one.

But don't worry I did a couple in Mono such as this next shot with a sepia tone to it

But then I slip back into color for this next shot, which gives a tease for a future post with a bit of a mural, which was the main reason we headed downtown that day to check out some of the murals we have seen while driving through downtown.

Cobblestone streets are cool to see and for photos I like them as a subject, but driving over them is such a pain the whole car shakes and shudders, I guess they were at their peak for horse and carts more so than for modern vehicles.

And another mono shot of another of the streets downtown.

and finishing off with another color shot I guess the color of the trees is what made me do more color edits than mono

Thank you for the shoutout for #MarketFriday! It is much appreciated!

Cobblestoned streets have a special place in my heart. They lend a romantic touch to an otherwise older, dated town. It suddenly gives it a new life and a new loved by the people feel to it.

I absolutely love the first shot and I am with you on the color versions of it. I have don't a lot in black and white, but, Old San Juan, Puerto Rico made me change my mind.

Lovely shots!

That sepia really gives it a cool dated look !!
