New Orleans by Night

This is what you get hanging out the window stopped at a traffic light with all the car brake lights on in front of you.
The streetcars on the St. Charles line are painted green while the ones on the Canal Street line are painted red. The cars on St. Charles were never removed and have run since the 1800's and have always been known as "streetcars". Streetcars throughout the city were replaced with fuel burning, smelly busses. The streetcars on Canal Street were brought back last year after almost a 40 year absence.

A great night shot the colours reflected onto the green are are quite splendid.
Out of interest Manchester scrapped it's trams 50 years ago.
In the last 10 years have spent millions re-building a metro link, and guess what, trams run on it.

We had cars like this in DC when I was a kid in the 40's. Great memory!

Great shot. Love the reflections and the perspective/angle you chose in composing your image.

Both are good shots Coleen-and I like Petesie's idea of someone taking the shot of you taking the shot :)

Wonderful, I get a real feeling of being there. Makes me miss New Orleans so much. I'm so glad they brought them back. Now we need another padder taking a photo of you hanging out the window.

Very nice capture. I love that angle you captured, this is really awesome.

So many things taken away that should not have been. Good to see what we call trams.
