Picture of the Day: French Quarter Balcony Postcard April 8, 2006

because one picture is worth at least a thousand words.

About this image:

The French Quarter of New Orleans is renowned for its historic architecture.

Like a psychedelic sundial, the ornate wrought ironwork of this balcony casts its intricate shadows through both time and space - remaining a constant, silent witness as the human dramas of birth, death, and rebirth unfold in the old city beneath it.

Thanks to Kerri (wherever you are!), who took the original photograph.
