Hello All,
I'm new to the site as a poster, but have been viewing everyone's fantastic images on here for awhile. I live in the Quarter, in New Orleans, so I thought I'd take my camera out to get a few photos in the CBD. Hope you guys like them. If so, I'll get more around the Quarter, Garden District and Uptown later. NOLA isn't exactly known for its skyscraper architecture but nonetheless it's a pleasant downtown area. Okay here goes...
Looking down Royal St. towards the CBD from the Quarter
Looking across Canal St. at the CBD, Canal is a point of contention among locals as to whether it's the border between the Quarter and the CBD or not..
Looking down Canal toward the river...
Down St. Charles, note One Shell Square looming over the "old" Hilton..
This black building on the right is recently constructed condos, kinda strange floor to ceiling windows, perhaps and homage to the same french door type windows in other parts of the city...
Home of the World Champs..
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals..
Love how this "newer" building wraps around the old Whitney Bank Bldg...
Sorry that some of them are sideways, people. I tried to correct this on imageshack, but apparently with no luck. Anyhow, I hope you guys enjoyed a little taste of NOLA's CBD.
