"South Beach or New Orleans?"

Palm Trees along Poyrdas Street next to Harrah's Casino

Coffee, is that the best you can come up with Brian?

Hey Tommy, I'll get you beignets...lots of beignets!!!

I could offer beignets as well, but I'll stick to coffee & Krispy Kreme donuts.

Even in that other state up there, what do they call that palce again? North Louisiana?

Yes. That's it.

The newly completed Harrah's Casino Hotel in downtown New Orleans:

Nice, Nate, I love it! I wish it had been there when I was down last...

Here's a shot I took tonight hand-held, just as a test of my new lens. I thought it came out very nice for a quick hand-held snapshot, so I figured I'd post it. This was taken in the parking lot of the Harrah's Louisiana Downs Racino between Bossier City and Haughton:

For comparison, here's the SAME shot but with my lens' Image Stabilizer mechanism turned OFF:

You know, the Harrah's theme didn't even cross my mind. But hey, that's cool. I wish Sam's Town Shreveport were still Harrah's Shreveport.

Downtown Shreveport from Eldorado Casino parking garage tonight. Couldn't go onto the top floor, it was closed off due to residual ice.

Nice pic Brian. I like that mural looking art down below too.

Thanks, Richy.

Here's another shot I took from the same perch tonight:

Nice looking pic Brian, although I wish there was a way to get rid of the building in the bottom left.

Thanks, man. Actually I thought the lower building looked cool because of the alley between it and the parking garage. That lower building, by the way, is the StageWorks movie production studio (formerly Shreveport Exposition Hall.)

Nice looking shots guys.

Way to rep New Orleans, Nate AND Tommy!

[lasportsman91]

Just some fire pics.

[dimebag1980]

Those fire pics are all cool, but that last one can't be beat. I love it! Reminds me of a dragon.

Here are my contributions for tonight, from the Shreveport riverfront... you have to click for the larger versions because the condensed versions suck.

The lights on those hotels are bright. When I went through there I could see them all the way from the I-49.

Oh, most definitely. You can see them from a good distance in Bossier City as well.

[Mith242]

Nice pics guys. It's been a while since I experimented with some fire pics like that.

I love the new pictures, Brian! The first two are probably my favorites. Great job!

Here are two more from downtown New Orleans:

Wow great shot with the Fleur-de-Lis Nate!
