Change of Plans...

Sunday I decided to make my next venture across the river and start out on River Road in Port Allen and head South. I drove down to the Huey P. Long Bridge in Port Allen but when I got there I changed my mind. First, I accidentally went across the bridge and had to turn around but in going across the bridge I got , what I felt, were some pretty neat shots. When I got back across I decided to take River Rd. Northwest and see where it would lead and I got all the way to Lettsworth, LA (I've never heard of it either) before heading back. Unfortunately I didn't find as much to work with as I did with my last adventure but I made due. Hope you all enjoy.


What you'll see here are just random shots of the bridge.


If you notice, I cropped each picture to have a core with multiple beams extending out the core of the picture. (If that makes any sense)


Obviously a perfect day to be out on the open road soaking up the sun.


The bridge is so desolate that I was actually able to come to a complete stop and snap these pictures.


I like these because you get to see the bridge in a way you don't usually look at it.


Serious Anchor


What I'm pretty sure was an old abandoned store.


The buried, buried.

First, I want to say that this blog is strictly for photography, or at least attempted photography. I am by no means a professional photographer but I like taking pictures when I can and plan to keep learning and growing. Feel free to leave comments and/or suggestions.

My first entry is the first collection from a trip I took down River Rd. For this trip I started at Gardere and took River Rd. down to Gramercy.

I thought this was an awesome shrine for a very young man.

Cool rusted tin sign.

I just like the colors in this one. Especially the red and yellow fire hydrant.

Rusty ole Chevy pick-up.

Red doors are always cool.

I liked the colors in this one and that damn dragonfly finally stopped moving.

Another stubborn dragonfly.

One of my favorites. Ironically, I found this guy in "The Secret Garden".

My second visit to Houmas House.

Another of my favorites. I love everything about this picture.

Something cool about railroads.

And trains...
