Since my last post about New Orleans had a less than flattering image, in the spirit of fairness I thought I should follow up with a picture of a nicer scene. Here’s one that captures old and new — both wheels (steam vs. car) and trusses (paddle wheel structure vs. bridge structure):

Here the paddle wheel belongs to the Steamboat Natchez, while the trusses are part of the Crescent City Connection bridges over the Mississippi river.

Note that along with its Flickr page, this image is also up in the gallery — so you can purchase a (reasonably priced) print of it, if you so desire.
