New Orleans in quarantine is stunningly beautiful.

Methinks we might benefit by making a month’s hibernation an annual thing.

3. :) Pretty picture, I agree, but without people isn't it without a point?

Missing its soul.

5. I like them because you get to see the full architecture. n/t

8. Sure. Detail and proportion probably show best in the sunlight, though.

I've taken a couple of architecture tours. They're not just aesthetically enjoyable but fun because, from the comfy distance of time, some of the stories of the doings in those buildings are jaw-dropping, horrifying to silly, to oh come on, never happen. Guessing NOLA's don't disappoint.

7. No... see my post #6

I loved the empty streets (as well as the crowds) you could "feel" the people that had been there and that would come along later that day... it is a mystical place

12. That's my take as well. It's far from uninhabited.

6. thank you

smiles because of the memories... I love that town!! ...and I must say that these photos are as I remember the French Quarter because when working there I would get up at 5-6am and stroll the streets... usually about the same time as the street washers

the photo that really got me was the Clover Grill on corner of Bourbon and Dumaine... loved going there for breakfast... best staff ever!!

9. Oh, I bet. I love the streets at that time. Even downtown

Los Angeles is a wonderful other-world with a special magic before a half million people pour in. For a while I was walking to work there while it was still empty and loved it. Mostly high-rise construction workers busy above and me walking alone below.

In coastal SoCA, the light arrives earlier than here in GA, so that I used to have enough to go for early walks while my urban neighborhood and nearby boulevards were still silent. One of the first things I missed.

11. I used to go over there and stay out all night

and then I would walk around at dawn and find the Cafe du Monde or the Clover Grill and grab some breakfast before I went home. I went over there about three weeks after Katrina with a now deceased friend of mine and it looked a lot like it does in those pictures. We had no problem at all finding a parking space!

13. God I LOVE The Clover! Working folks' favorite breakfast place.
