i am not clear on what was happening

I saw this one drizzly morning. It looked sort of…combustible…so I kept going.

Or, what I mean to say is that I made a few photos and THEN kept going. But you knew that part.

morning light

I am fortunate that my real job gives me travel opportunities and I try to always use these work trips to grab a few photos.

I saw this scene one morning in New Orleans, only about three blocks from where I worked when I was in grad school. In those days, way up on the fourth floor of an office building, we had a daily view of construction of one span of the bridge you can see here. I’d never seen it from this angle before, and how nice of the sunlight to land right there on that little piece of wall…sometimes NOLA will hand you a gift.

tchoupitoulas street jogger

Well, first of all, it’s a whole lot of fun to say “Tchoupitoulas.” Try it.*

And second of all, if you need a delicious sandwich for lunch, you can stop by the St. James Cheese Company, right there at Tchoupitoulas and Girod.

And, finally, when you’re done with your sandwich you can sit and watch what ever is happening along the sidewalk. And maybe get a few photos while you’re at it.

creeping damp

It was a gray and dreary day, which made this non-gray and non-dreary find all the more exciting.

that was not a new leak

Based on the amount of slick green moss and rotting leaves in the large puddle next to the leaky fire hydrant, I am going to make a wild guess that maybe the leak’s not something that just started earlier that same morning.

A Report from the Research Department*: Google street view from December of 2021 does not show a leak.
