I was planning to post some shots of Hollywood today, but Jay B.’s post over at TBogg’s place is making me either nostalgic or mournful for New Orleans — or both, since I suppose nostalgia is just mourning without tears, and an added splash of self-pity — so I thought instead I’d put up a few pictures from our last trip there in 2008.
More below the fold…
Many thanks for the pics. First Katrina, now BP. Breaks the heart.
Yeah, I highly recommend New Orleans as a destination for an expedition. I was there for a week in 1997, and it was the best vacation I ever had.
Thank you for the pics of NOLA. It is my birthplace…there’s nothing like it…just beautiful.
My late stepfather was a lover of New Orleans too. He loved New Orleans jazz going right back to early Louis, Bunk Johnson, Sidney Bechet – and the food, and the whole spirit of the place. I’m glad, in a way, he wasn’t around to see Katrina happen (he despised Bush), or the oil spill.
Great images, Scott. Very evocative.
My husband and I stumbled into New Orleans on a whim the first time we traveled there. The second time was planned far in advance. Wonderful town.
And exactly what Ferd said.
Something to say?
Damn, thanks for the pics. And love the quote: nostalgia is just mourning without tears, and an added splash of self-pity And scar are souvenirs you never lose.
But those images. Damn, if those were my memories, i’m not sure I’d ever leave. Or at least want to.
