Courtyards and passageways

The physical look of the French Quarter has always captured my attention. The narrow, dark alleys that lead courtyards which seem like an oasis took much of my camera's time during my trip.

Rainy Days & Cemeteries

I mentioned I spent an afternoon at St Patricks’ Cemetery #2 in New Orleans this past week and here are some sights It stopped raining long enough for me to get in a few good shots. Some of the tombs are in disrepair: they’ve been abused by weather and I’m afraid vandals over time. Some are as old as the mid-1800s If you go poking around, you may find something quite startling. Remember to use your flash in dark spaces. My wife didn’t talk to me for a few hours after she saw this last photo. Oh well.
