My "no destination day" angel can be found in St. Louis Cemetery #3 on Esplanade. I got there early enough to avoid the tourists who regularly unload by the busload every day. On my way to her, I noticed some beautiful patterns, colors and textures on certain tombs that I wanted to come back to once I'd finished with her.
On my way back I'd approached from the rear and was hugely surprised when I checked out the markings on the front.
This structure has been around since the turn of the last century, 1894. It seems that with so many French people in New Orleans, there was a need for a special society to help those who were here and may have passed on. This was the first time that I'd noticed tombs and crypts that had been built by sponsoring organizations or groups. Here's another I found nearby below:
It seemed appropos that it had it's very own bird's nest resting in the corner!
And then there was a sweetness and light!
