OK, so I’ve talked about my trip to New Orleans, and posted images from the flight home, it’s about time I started posting some images from my time “on the ground.” I thought I’d start with a picture that summarizes my impression of the place — as a hard-partying and rough-around-the-edges city:
Maybe it’s a “Katrina thing,” maybe not — but I saw barbed wire over essentially all the gateways I ran across in the French Quarter. Most of them were subsequently “decorated” with beads, too. I couldn’t tell you whether the decoration came accidentally during Mardi Gras, or deliberately as an ironic statement.
Update: along with its Flickr page, this image is now up in the gallery — just in case you like it enough that you’d like a (reasonably priced) print of it.
