New Orleans: Shots from the passenger's seat.


Eighth months after the New Orleans visit, I cannot believe how much shots I took while we drove around the city. And it seemed like we have driven around so much. The late November sky was mostly blue, bright and beautiful.

We return for an early morning drive to a quiet, still asleep French Quarter.

While the neighborhood seemed to be still asleep, someone was up and blowing bubbles on the streets.

    I can see why you took so many photos. It looks like a vibrant city full of things to see and do. A 24-hour tavern sounds kind of scary though.

    The French Quarters is defnitely very attractive. What's that Armstrong gate?

    That bubble blower probably hadn't been to bed!

    NOLA has to be the most photo-worthy city in the country -- I was just like you, so many pictures! Thanks for sharing.

    New Orleans is such a colorful city, and you captured lots of its color and character from your car. Wonderful shots!

    I'm enjoying your New Orleans shots so much and I love you ending with the bubbles as I still blow bubbles.

    Such a fascinating variety of building styles! Especially loved the pink building with blue shuttered windows!

    Those are strong street shots in that they captured the colors and building styles so well. The bubbles were a surprise.

    Whenever I see those ironwork balconies, I always associate them with New Orleans' French Quarter. Beautiful!

    We spent a week there a long time ago, Maria, but I think you saw much more of it than we did. But that was in my past life when I didn't have a partner-in-crime for photography! I've love to go back and see it with new eyes.
