I went to New Orleans for the first time late last year and was blown away by how photogenic parts of it were. Unfortunately I was there on business, so didn’t have time to explore properly, let along capture some images. Thankfully, this post by fromme-toyou does a far better job of capturing the mood of the place than I could ever hope to. 

fromme-toyou:

“Creole babies with flashin’ eyes Softly whisper their tender sighs
Then stop….won’t you give your lady fair…a little smile
Stop..ya bet your life you’ll linger there…a little while

We’ve got heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
Way down yonder in New…Orleans”

-Louis…
