    Nice, I love to visit cemeteries and bring my camera with every time.

    If I may ask, which cemetery is this? I’ve been to Lafayette #2 and the St Joseph cemeteries as well as one of the St Louis cemeteries (I forget which) but Lafayette #1 has been closed for going on at least 2 years.

    Hmm, that’s not the staircase grave from the Masonic Cemetery on City Park Avenue (https://awaywithacamera.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/nola.2021.cemeteries_masonic_03.jpg) so I’m not really sure where it is.

    ETA: That picture is from a pretty good article found here.

    New Orleans, CA?

    Glad I’m not the only one with too much blood in my caffeine stream this am. /s/

    But I like the shot a lot.

    @OzarkHillbilly: LaFayette #1 was closed still when we were there earlier this month. The most interesting one I have visited is Carrollton, which is north-ish of Tulane. The indigent section is rather haunting.

    Thanx for the tip. I just got back from NOLA this past Sunday myself. Was really hoping the #1 would be open but my pre visit research said “Nope!”

    C’est la vie.

    One thing I couldn’t help noticing on this trip was a severe lack of plumbers in MS. On the way down and coming back I was unable to find a fully functioning bathroom anywhere in that state. Not at rest areas (which are otherwise very pleasant) or gas stations or McDs.
