Seating Option
I am almost never bored in airports. As long as I’ve got a camera with me, I’m good.
Also, this bench is fairly disgusting.

Just the slightest tilt
It takes a trained craftsperson, probably, to spot the very, very slight out-of-plumb element here.
(If you can’t find it, let me know. I don’t mind giving hints.)

Built as a ruin
This is a folly. That is to say it’s “a whimsical or extravagant structure built to serve as a conversation piece, lend interest to a view, commemorate a person or event, etc.; found especially in England in the 18th century.”*
Or, in this case, found in New Orleans in the 21st century.

Confederacy
For some reason, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia has a large monument here in this cemetery in New Orleans.
I am not going to get drawn into the argument about tearing down (or not) monuments to various “heroes” of the Confederacy. Nope. I won’t.
All I am doing here is recording the way the light is coming in from the back of this monument. And the way the many of the names have worn away. And the way those two Confederate flags sure do look new, in spite of the fact that there is a heavy, locked gate across the entrance to the memorial.
