St Louis I Cemetery and Beer

I dictated the comment below this and I do realize that it's kind of screwed up, but that's an iPhone for you! :-)

Thank you so much, Judie, John, Toni, and Steve for your comments. You know, New Orleans is a place of a lot of emotion, including sorrow and laughter and remembrances all mixed together. So at such times as all Saints Day, we go visit the dead. Usually, this other photographer and I will go here or to Saint Roch or to go visit all of his relatives who are spaced out in various cemeteries near the foot of Canal Street. Of the other cemeteries, people generally just take flowers, but at St. Louis one, my favorite, you'll find all kinds of things. The photographer who goes with me got really upset with me because I moved voodoo doll so it would be in a better place and my composition. He believed I had just jinxed myself. Maybe I did! Hmmmm! Anyway we can't go in there anymore unless we go with a tour or hop the fence, because it is now closed thanks to the vandals in the city who will steal anything off of an old tomb or desecrate it! Kk

A great, fun image, kk! I note that the mourners did not leave full cups. :)

Wonderful image AND description to go with it! Fav'd

Stunning Work..KK ! Love the composition and the tiny details you have captured !

Ms Parker, this one nearly took my breath away. It is exactly what it is supposed to be and what it represents in New Orleans. Great work as usual.
