The “Big Easy” Photo Walk - New Orleans

Whether it is the nightlife, food, architecture or music that brings you down to New Orleans, you will not be disappointed.

The culture and history is evident all around you in the architecture. Both the French and Spanish ruled the city at one time, and that mixed with an African-American influence makes for an eclectic backdrop. Walk around the city and take it all in. Jackson Square, voodoo, vampires, gumbo, ghosts, cemeteries, WWII museum, the Mississippi, musical performances, neon signs on Bourbon Street, flickering gaslights, hooves clopping on the pavement, beignets and coffee in Cafe du Monde, street performing musicians in the French Market, and streetcars on Canal Street.

Exploring neighborhoods like the French Quarter, Treme, Garden District, Downtown, Marigny, and Frenchman Street.

Here is what caught my eye, I hope you enjoy!
