Lafayette Cemetary #1

In this classic New Orleans cemetery, layers of decay, molds, and crumbling stone evidence the unforgiving effects of rain. If death and decay happen to be what works up your appetite, try the turtle soup and 25 cent martinis at Commander’s Palace, right across the street. 

Natures variety, shining through. Eggs from Hollygrove Market, Mid-City, New Orleans.
