Of course I have many of the standard pictures of New Orleans, that is what one does. But mine aren’t necessarily that great, so I trained my eye on other things that might not show up in the fancy photo albums.
Who doesn’t like a friendly cat?
How about a menacing one?
A duck decoy works well on the fountain.
Don’t know how to describe this bird, is he always on the porch? does he sing and dance?
Only in NOLA can you have a gargoyle on your railing and it appears to be a natural part of the decor.
A fish out of water. In front the the Aquarium of course, I like how it stands out in front of the hotels as well
Staying in the same color family, an old sign on an old gas station. It was turned into a pizza joint and today is abandoned.
What to do with the old claw foot tub? Put it out on the side walk of course. This uneven sidewalk is very common.
Which is why people have signs like this.
At least the city isn’t responsible for the fence, that is on private property. Looks to me like the tree is trying to eat the rosebuds/skulls.
I come from a city that has a lot of public stairs so this intrigues me. NOLA is flat, very very flat, in order to prevent flooding they built levees. this one surrounds Algiers Point and is only 11 steps, but it qualifies as a public staircase.
I was quite surprised to see the bust of Abraham Lincoln looking out at me from a shop window on Royal St. There he his, there is even a sign in the window saying pictures are fine but please don’t touch. The wonders here never stop.
