Ruby Tuesday

Click on badge to view other participants.

The logo below will serve as my primary Ruby Tuesday qualifier.  The rest is the real reason for the post.

Last week I attended the national AIA (American Institute of Architects) convention in New Orleans.  This was my first visit to "Nawlins".  I took my camera nearly everywhere I went, just so I wouldn't miss an opportunity.  Still, since it has a propriatary lithium battery, that I drained...and didn't have a spare on me, I missed a few captures that I would like to have had.  All in all, it was a great week.  The following are images that say New Orleans to me.  What do you think?


Walkin' Thru New Orleans









This last image is from a monument to the immagrants that first settled in New Orleans.  It is located along the River Walk about a half mile from the Convention Center.
The next couple of days I will share some additional images of New Orleans with you.  While you are viewing them, I will be headed out on business again.  This time, to Orlando.  Don't worry, I'll take the camera and share the results when I return.  I will be taking my wife with me and we will be celebrating a belated 37th wedding anniversary.  Our anniversary was Wednesday, May 11, but I was in New Orleans and we were not able to be together for the first time in all of those 37 years.  That won't happen again, I promise.  Have a great week.

    Wow, those are great photographs. What a variety of subjects and colors. I'll be going there next March for the Gas Processors Association meeting and am looking forward to it.

    Your photos have got me hankering to go to New Orleans myself--with my spouse!

    DID SOMEONE MENTION SCARLET?

    Did someone mention scarlet
    Or was it red I heard?
    Perhaps it was a varlet
    Or a vermilion bird
    That shouted out the color
    That’s dearest to my heart.
    (It makes me feel much duller
    If red is not a part.)

    The sights are to behold, the Big Easy full of unique style. I haven't been to the French Quarter, just to the airport (which isn't even in NO...)

    NOLA is a port city, which allows for the true melting pot from immigrants from all places. Perhaps the pouplation gumbo ( a little of this and that) adds to the coolness of the place. Someday, I'd love to spend some time in NO and have a gastronomic feast!

    My daddy was from NOLA, and I spent 2 weeks there cloistered in the public library doing family research. These shots are definitely NOLA in all of its glory. One day I hope to return. It is a wonderful place.

    Stunning collection from over yonder. I liked the ruby version of the logo, too, worked for me.
