Things can get a little busy on the Mississippi River. Oh, heck,who are we kidding, things can get a lot busy. This is the front of the Canal Street-Algiers ferry heading into downtown New Orleans. You can see the wake just ahead of the gawkers from a tug boat that just passed with a massive load.
Straight ahead is the World Trade Center. On the right (in green) is the Aquarium of the Americas and behind that One Canal Place with the Shops on Canal shopping center is located.
The ferry ride is a great (and cheap) way to get a good look at down town. Go across to Algiers, take in Mardi Gras World, or just spend some time on the levy. Then ride back. No car needed. The top of the ferry is for pedestrians.

Looks like a beautiful day on the "ole Mississip"
I'm not used to seeing water so brown...
Oh goodness, is the water brown a lot of times?
The ferry does sound like a great way to see the city.
This is very very beautiful. A little bit scary too...
Wow! this is awesome! beautiful shot.
