NOLA09D-118
April 21, 2009
A quite different panoramic composition today, found while wandering through the surreal and altogether serene graveyards of New Orleans. These amazing vaults, built above ground to protect against floods and hurricanes, have withstood, in some cases, over a century of being in the hot, muggy south. Lichen creeping up their facades, old stone tablets describing the inhabitants, and always flowers in front. While a lot of folks in the south enjoy fake flowers on graves, these were actually real roses, left beside this solitary marker. Enjoy.
