Description
Here is another shot of the floor of the St. Roch Chapel's "Thanks Room."
On the right side you can see a pair of mardi gras beads that someone left in thanks. Pennies are left in thanks as were a lot of other things in the past. See the photo in my gallery of the wall that accompanies the floor of St. Roch Chapel.
This is the only floor like this in New Orleans, and it is not well known to many who live here. At first it seems bizarre,but after you understand the purpose of the room.... thanks from individuals for one kind of miraculous cure of the other, it is not so spooky. I threw a penny on the floor, too. So this view is in color and a bit on the diagonal. The other shot, Thanks 2, is straight through the clutter which is all over the floor. I love the bricks, some of which have thanks or merci or even name(s) carved into them, What I love about this place is also what I love about New Orleans. Both have retained their individualism and have not become homogenized. This image also available in black and white and can also be tinted to just about any tint you want...write me to inquire.
