Earlier this month, some friends and I did a short trip to New Orleans. Just because it’s an interesting city.

Here are a few of my favorite shots. More are in this gallery and you can see Kathy’s images from the trip in her gallery.

Shattered Tablet

Every New Orleans visitor guide says to visit a cemetery or two. This shattered tablet is from Lafayette Cemetery #1.

Rue Royale

A postcard shot of Rue Royale, one of the main streets through the French Quarter.

Clown

This rather creepy clown was in the window of a French Quarter art gallery. Imagine putting that in your house.

The King

One of the many items in Mardi Gras World, the company that builds floats and other structures for the many, many celebrations in New Orleans and other parts of the world.
