I took many more pictures in and around New Orleans....Like the French Quarter, Bourban st, St. Charles st. and the wood trollies, museums, Aquarium of the Americas, etc. etc. even the wild old cemetaries I went to there (found a Charles Lepley 1915) ...... but all my cameras are in a pile and where not marked or anything.....so the next pictures will likely not be the rest from New Orleans.....could be Montana, Chicago, D.C., North Dakota, Times square....who knows?....I'll list whatever comes up.....
