Street Lamps
There are usually interesting things to see in the French Quarter. But rarely do you get to see a convocation of lamps, a herded together in the street and waiting for…something.

Room Views
I was in New Orleans for a few days at the first of the month; my hotel room had views toward the Mississippi River (which was heading toward flood stage) and the French Quarter (which was heading toward being flooded with tourists). So, when I wasn’t in my conference sessions, or occupied with other things*, these were my views:

*No, I wasn’t in bars all the time. I went to an NBA game one night.
A sort of storm drain
This photo is part homage to my good friend Ehpem, whose images of a storm drain in Victoria, British Columbia, have held my interest for the past three or four years, and part homage to my memories of living in New Orleans while I was in grad school. I lived near Lake Pontchartrain and often went to the lakefront to study or to look at that far horizon (because it was the only place to see the horizon!). Most of the city felt closed in (our kitchen window, for example, looked directly into the neighbor’s front doorway only a few feet away), a feeling that I didn’t like then and like even less these days.
It was nice to re-visit the lakefront when I was in New Orleans last week for a conference.

Here’s another shot in my sporadic series of New Orleans, after Katrina. This is in West End, along Lake Pontchartrain.
