Next and final stop on our USA trip: New Orleans. The city is famous for many things, one of them are colorful beads. They can be found all over the city, in shops, parks, on trees, cars, etc.

Weather is a little moody in New Orleans: One minute it's bright sunshine, the other minute it's heavy rain. It happend during our first trip to the French Quarter and we had no umbrella. So I had no other choice but to run for cover, wait for the rain to end and shoot these trash cans in the meantime.

We've spent five nights at the wonderful Sweet Olive B&B. Guests could easily spend an afternoon at home just exploring all the decorations and items collected by the original owner and the current hosts. The small black dot at the vanishing point is Happy, the host's cookie-loving dog.

We met this Saxophone player at Jackson Square right in front of Saint Louis Cathedral. I asked him whether it's OK to take some pictures. Of course it was, and he was posing for the camera like a pro model going through all the typical Saxophone player poses.

A typical house in New Orleans' French Quater just around the corner from our B&B. I'm not sure if this area was affected by Hurricane Katrina but if so then the cleanup efforts were successful.
Strobist Info: Nikon SB-900 iTTL on the left, triggered by in-camera flash (Nikon CLS).
