Oakley Plantation Cistern

Oakley Plantation

Gayle and I traveled to West Baton Rouge and then St. Francisville. This is a view of Oakley plantation's kitchen and its cistern. John J. Audubon did 32 of his bird paintings during a four months stay here. And yes it stills holds water that they use to make lye soap behind the building.

Excellent composition. Such a complimentary collection!

You know I'm going to love this composition. Good job Breland. That old cistern is great.
Did you know that Audubon paid for dead birds so he could make his paintings? Oh well... :^)

Splendid view into an older time. The cistern has wonderful textures.

Am I right in thinking there's some great Blues music from Baton Rouge?

Wonder if it still can hold water? Beautiful composition. I love seeing the green in the dead of winter.

I love the weathering and aging effect on this old cypress cistern, Breland. A ghost of the past. Beautiful scene.

Cool shot! First time I've seen a cistern. I like the effect the spanish moss adds to the pic.
