Eastern New Orleans, LA

I will be starting a new gallery in the near future called LIFE ALONG THE RAILROAD. I will show abandoned home and camps that at one time were serviced by the railroad. There were communities along the railroad right of way and the only way to get to them was by rail. Camps along Lake Catherine and the Rigolets were places like that. Most homes are abandoned now. This photo today is just one of the abandoned homes.

That's something to look forward to Paul. Life must have been difficult living there.

Really great shot, particularly the way the foreground literally draws you into the shot

I echo what Scott says. This is a rather sad and lonely building.

Before I saw your name I knew this was that area. Great idea to start that gallery---why haven't you thought of it before?

That new gallery sounds great Paul. This looks like a great place to get away from city life.

Looks lonely.

Beautiful! It is a shame that they are no longer used!
