  • Rollin’ Over The River

    I’m still staying with the train theme. But, not the railroad song theme. I looked. Nothing really fits freight cars parked on a sky-high bridge.  The Huey P. Long. The same bridge I drove over a few posts back. I think that you’ve seen the location in the past. But, not this picture. I’m about done with trains for…

  • More Trains

    I’m really into these pre-school train songs. I’m not sure why. It’s probably because they suit my emotional level. Or, something like that. Here’s one about freight trains. “Clickity, clackity, clickity clack! The train speeds over the railroad track.
It rolls and rattles and screeches its song
. And pulls and jiggles its freight cars along. Clickity,…

  • Across the Mighty Mississippi River

    I was trying to think of a train song. So, I Googled around. I came up with preschool train songs and music. Like this. “A peanut sat on a railroad track His heart was all a flutter. Around the bend came number ten Choo, choo, peanut butter.” Happy Sunday.

  • Accidental Picture

    Yes. Accidental. I wanted to photograph that bridge in the background. That’s the Crescent City Connection. Normally, I would have just walked across that field. But. That land is being developed into yet another tourist destination. That’s fine. The city needs the money. I’d like the pot holes in front of my house fixed. I’d…

  • A Little Change

    Missing. Ain’t der no mo’. There used to be houses in that field. Hurricane Katrina took care of that. Here we are. A decade later and the area looks pretty good. But… check out the details. Look at that house in the background, on the left. It still has a blue plastic roof. A Katrina…

  • Another Experiment

    Another day. Another experiment. I swear I’ll start making new pictures when I start feeling better. I’m hoping that in a few weeks I’ll feel really good and back to feeling like a 90-year-old man. Heh! Actually, I did make a few pictures today. I’m just gonna tease you by telling you that. I went…

  • Places

    Every now and then I remember to head east. Towards Mississippi. But, not into the state. Just to the edge of Louisiana. I pass by the edge of Lake Ponchartrain where I usually have a look around at what is left of Lincoln Beach and the old amusement park. It is mostly gone now after…

  • Take Me to the Levee…

    A lot of people in a lot of places say it. It is something along these lines. “If you don’t like the weather wait an hour and…” Yeah. Well. In Southeast Louisiana, the weather really does change in an hour. Or, in five minutes. Especially if you are traveling into or out of it. I made this picture a couple…

  • Let It Rain

    I went to Point Algiers yesterday. Twice. It’s a great place to photograph the New Orleans skyline. We had one of those days when the clouds were perfect. They turned from white puffy clouds to storm clouds without rain. This went on all day so I decided to return around dusk. I was thinking that with…
