Nice, I love to visit cemeteries and bring my camera with every time.
If I may ask, which cemetery is this? I’ve been to Lafayette #2 and the St Joseph cemeteries as well as one of the St Louis cemeteries (I forget which) but Lafayette #1 has been closed for going on at least 2 years.
@OzarkHillbilly: LaFayette #1 was closed still when we were there earlier this month. The most interesting one I have visited is Carrollton, which is north-ish of Tulane. The indigent section is rather haunting.

Thanx for the tip. I just got back from NOLA this past Sunday myself. Was really hoping the #1 would be open but my pre visit research said “Nope!”
C’est la vie.
One thing I couldn’t help noticing on this trip was a severe lack of plumbers in MS. On the way down and coming back I was unable to find a fully functioning bathroom anywhere in that state. Not at rest areas (which are otherwise very pleasant) or gas stations or McDs.

Hmm, that’s not the staircase grave from the Masonic Cemetery on City Park Avenue (https://awaywithacamera.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/nola.2021.cemeteries_masonic_03.jpg) so I’m not really sure where it is.
ETA: That picture is from a pretty good article found here.
New Orleans, CA?
Glad I’m not the only one with too much blood in my caffeine stream this am. /s/
But I like the shot a lot.
Oh jeez ok, St. Vincent #1.

@Flat Earth Luddite: Oops.

@Jon: Also: cool article. Thanks for the link!

OK, somebody’s gotta do this.
