Jackson Square at Night

Most cities have a iconic location that everyone visits when visiting there. For New Orleans, it has to be Jackson Square, a historic park in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Washington Artillery Park

Just across Decatur Street from Jackson Square in New Orleans is Washington Artillery Park. This raised concrete area on the river side, is a great spot to photograph the square and the barges and paddle wheelers on the Mississippi. The cannon mounted in the center and pointing toward the river is a model 1861 Parrot Rifle used in the Civil War. This monument honors the local 141st Field Artillery of the Louisiana National Guard. Late at night is about the only time you can see this view without tourists filling the area.

French Quarter Flags

As a visitor, walking in the French Quarter in the early hours made it hard to recall what block this building was found.

The French Quarter

The French Quarter is the oldest neighborhood in the city of New Orleans. Most of the present-day historic buildings were constructed during the late 18th century, during the city's period of Spanish rule, and reflect Spanish colonial architecture.

Orleans and Bourbon

Wandering through the French Quarter in the pre-dawn hours, my friends and I came across the Tropical Isle at Orleans and Bourbon streets.

Fall-out from Pat O'Brien's

Walking around the French Quarter, you always seemed to be dodging trash cans. Pat O'Brien's has it's share of trash like most clubs in the French Quarter.

Ft. Pike Overview

On our recent photo trip to New Orleans, we were fortunate to photograph two 19th century forts. The first was Ft. Pike, named after Brigadier General Zebulon Montgomery Pike, which formerly guarded the Rigolets pass in Louisiana.

New Orleans Skyline Panorama

On a photo trip to New Orleans, it took us some time to find a spot on the Mississippi without docks or barges, giving a clear view to the skyline. You may not be able to tell it from this page, but for more detail, click on the image to visit the print site. You can click on that new image for closer previews. I'm encouraged to try more of these on our next photo trip.

Bad Habits

Some would state though that a bad habit is only bad if taken to extreme, so proceed with caution. This was taken at Lafittes Blacksmith Shop.
