Description
Copyright Warning Do Not Alter My Photographers Notes: A cast iron cross sits atop a tomb located in an Historic Cemetery here in New Orleans, Louisiana. The sky was brilliant blue and the contrast of the cast iron cross seems etched in the sky above. Here in New Orleans departed are buried in above tombs or crypts. Because the city is below sea level, some cemetery's construct outer cement walls or vaults to place caskets. New Orleans is known for the cemetery;s which are also called The Cities of The Dead. One famous cemetery St. Louis No 1 so many New Orleans citizens who died of yellow fever where buried there.
