Sunset at The Point

New Orleans

This small strip of land juts out into Lake Pontchartrain from West End and across from the yatch harbor. In recent months it has become the center of entertainment and fishing in the daytime for the many migrant workers that have come to help the City's recovery. For about a century it has been a favorite place in late evening and night as a lovers' lane. An earlier rainstorm created water pools on the shore where I was photographing.

You have managed to capture beautiful reflections in those pools of water. Another lovely sunset Coleen.

In the 50s it was a "center of entertainment" as well. :^)
I am really surprised that the road way survived Katrina.
Beautiful pastels in that sunset Coleen, really beautiful.

That is an awesome sky and the reflections are beautiful. I'm happy someone is getting rain. Beautifully captured, Coleen.

The sunrises/-sets in the tropics and sub tropics (NO is near sub-tropical, right), are always magnificant. Beautiful job.
