Acadian Superette
I had a work trip to New Orleans earlier this month, and stayed over for the weekend to visit Lafayette and some other areas in the Acadian parishes of the state; it’s for a project that I’m working on, which will begin to be revealed here on the blog one of these days.
But not yet.
I liked Lafayette, and am looking forward to getting back there to work on my project a little bit more.
And maybe when I’m back this place will be open. I rather like the looks of it.

Campaign for Restoration
Not only does this church in the French Quarter have regular Masses and other, ordinary churchy things, tourists stop in to check it out. It’s always busy, so I’m sure the ongoing maintenance costs are high. There’s been a church on this site since 1718, and this building’s been here since 1850.
Also, it’s said to be haunted. Père Antoine is said to appear during Christmas Midnight Mass. And Père Dagobert also haunts the place and can be heard chanting the Kyrie on rainy days.
I didn’t see any ghosts, and none have appeared in the images that I made, for whatever that’s worth

The Gap
Where a building was, there’s now a parking lot filling in the gap.
We lived in New Orleans for a few years; when we first got there, someone gave us these directions: Go up Canal Street, and turn right where the bakery used to be.
Not helpful. Not one bit.

Constellation
This is another part of the construction project that I posted earlier.
The constellation-alike arrangement of the lights cast beautiful and mysterious shadows.
