Over the New Year holiday, my wife and I escaped to New Orleans for a few days. This is one of the images I made during our stay. I have many more, most of which need editing, and I hope to show them here from time to time. Happy New Year, everyone!

My husband and I went to NOLA last February as the city was getting ready for Mardi Gras. Loved the sites, jazz and the food. cannot wait to see your pics!
It’s such a great place. Did you get to see any of the parades? I can’t wait to see them also 😅
The first one started the day before we left and we were warned by the local guide that it would be raunchy and aimed at the local politicians 🙂
My friend visited the following week – the week of the parades and enjoyed them but was not sure she should hav etaken her teenager 🙂
Yeah, I’m now sure it’s the most family friendly place.

we love NO, Louisiana – sold to the US by Napoléon… 🙂 during our 5 years spent in Houston, TX, we took there all our European guests!

MERCI-THANX for dropping by my virtual playground and my very best for 2020: health, joy and love! 🙂
Thank you. We loved it also. I wish we were closer and could visit more often. You have a great site. Cheers
WOW!!
Thanks Liz.
What a fabulous sky! How nice is that, when that works in your favor. Happy editing and Happy New Year!
Thank you. Happy New Year. About a half hour after I made this image, the skies totally went grey. Timing!
Great shot of a lovely cathedral! Hope you had a great holiday! Cheers!
Thank you, Sarah. It was a great time.
NO is about a 3-hour drive from me. I love it there!
How lucky! I wish we could visit more easily.
Awestruck! 👁👁🍃
Thank you, Gail!
Wow..so beautiful..⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Thank you, Sohair.
Christmas in NO is magical! Great photo – will look forward to more from there!
It’s a magical place. We had a great time.
Great place to escape to with your spouse!
And the photo you chose is nice with the architecture and sky – but my favorite part – ? The ribbons!
I always love when we have holiday photos from a place- the wreath or green foliage – or the red ribbons–/
Ahhhh – add a unique holiday touch that can enjoyed all year and at any time –
It’s fun seeing the holiday decorations in a different climate. Many people had their homes and balconies quite well decorated.
Oh how festive- and too bad the Saints lost today – no more football for them for this season –
Yeah. The city was getting all excited about it too.
😦
We visited the cathedral when we were in New Orleans, too! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Love this shot…have been there, but always on business and never got time to get such a great capture of the cathedral! Well done!
Thank you so much, Kirt. This was the right place at the right timme shot. The sky went totally grey 30 minutes later.
I find New Orleans so unique….have taken a number of shots of the French Quarters and the Garden District using them for digital art inspiration, but never got any of the Cathedral! Again, great capture!!
I’d love to go there more. There were parts we never even got to see. Thank you.
