Pirated space
It is only a block long. But, if bricks could talk. Pirates Alley, in the middle of the French Quarter by St.Louis Cathedral. Pirate's Alley next to the Church? New Orleans. --steve buser
The acoustics are just great there too! Back in the day that is where they held a thriving black market, right next to da'choich! A more subtle thing was watching the mafia guys come and go to mass through that door, always the left side in pirates alley.
Of course you know it is a haunted alley, as there lay many souls buried beneath those flagstones and in the garden behind the Cathedral.
A "wow" photo!
ReplyDeleteI like the shot. The flags just makes it work.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot, Steve!
