We were riding the streetcar down St. Charles Avenue with my son and his wife a couple weeks ago, and I decided to shoot some of the mansion we passed by. This one caught my eye as we clanged past, but it wasn't till I got home and looked at the shots that I noticed the interesting play of the trees-- still trying to come back to their former glory from being windswept by Hurricane Katrina, they give seem to me to give a framing effect that brings out the stateliness of the the mansion.--steve buser

Absolutely gorgeous, Steve. I love the framing effect, too.
This is my favorite time of year in New Orleans. We used to visit every year, until my sons discovered Spring Training.
Was this whole area also under water? It is a magnificent picture. I think those trees are going to make it.

ce manoir est très beau, il a une superbe architecture
This house is beautiful, it has a superb architecture
It certainly is a beautiful building. Is it privately owned? Do princes and princesses reside there? :)
Abe --- St. Charles Ave. was kind of the demarcation line for flooding. St. Charles follow the River, the flooding was mostly on the side of St. Charles away from the river. Why not on the river side? Because long before there were levees the Mississippi would overflow its banks and build up that area with silt. It is now affectionately known as the Sliver on the River.
beautiful cheery mansion.........and yes framing accentuates the stately effect!!!
