Parking garage

The most famous (arguably) section of New Orleans is the French Quarter.  There are a number of parking garages, similar to this one, that may have started out life as an industrial or warehouse structure, that has been repurposed as a parking ramp garage. Or perhaps the buildings were intentionally designed, and even "aged" to look the part of the historic district. At any rate I found them to be much more at home here than if the ramps were new and more conventional in design.

Down the street


 Looking down Chartres Street toward the St. Louis Cathedral.


The more common view of the cathedral and Jackson Square.

Chartres Street

Walking around the French Quarter in New Orleans presents lots of photo opportunities, especially when the sun is shining and the weather is nice.

What the heck?

I came accross this in a shop window. It is a curious art piece made from a number of musical instruments. I don't think it actually makes any sound but it is interestsing.
