Oak Alley Plantation Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Oak Alley Plantation is located on the MIssissippi River, between the hostoric Louisiana cities New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The quarter-mile canopy of giant live oak trees, believed to be 300 years old, forms an impressive avenue leading to the Greek-revival style Mansion.

There was continous rain the whole day, which just stopped for a few minutes when I took this picture.

This is what I love about the South. :) Great POV through the trees, and nice centering.

Salut Reinhard! Ziemlich beeindruckend, fast ein wenig wie mein "Drive Way" - aber nur fast :) Gepflegtes Foto, welches das Suedstaatenflair mit einem Touch "Vom Winde verweht" bestens zur Geltung bringt.

Gut gemacht, Gruesse aus Zuerich, Barbara.
