Garden District, New Orleans
Aren’t these trees cool? When I saw them, I started to think of ghosts and haunted houses. By the way, Anne Rice, the author, lived in the house behind the trees. I wonder if she felt the same way. Of course her tales who would be terrifying than mine.
The trees are very cool, but it is even cooler that you got to see Anne Rice’s house :).
New Orleans is great for book lovers. So many authors lived there at one point. Seeing her house was the highlight for me.
Spooky
🙂 We can try to find some spooky trees in London when you visit.
She actually based a tree in the witching hour (I think it was that one) on these trees
I loved The Witching Hour. That book inspired me to travel to New Orleans in the first place.
Anne Rice lived there?? I am such a Lestat groupie…I think I might faint.
I hope to find out the craze about Lestat soon.
That is the way a vampire should be.
There definitely is a story there… 🙂
At least one 😉
Love the gnarly, knobby branches and roots of the trees in the south.
They have so much character.
Looks creepy to me also!
I couldn’t stop looking at them. I thought they would uproot and chase me down the street.
Yes I can imagine it! 🙂
🙂
Very cool indeed. Perhaps only slightly more so because of Anne Rice. Didn’t she breathe new life into the ages old vampire stories?
I plan on reading her first vampire novel this fall. I’ve read her Witching Hour series and loved it.
Sometimes you can find these old trees with moss hanging in long tendrils off the branches. Talk about creepy.
That sounds so cool and wonderfully creepy–not the best sentence I’ve written 🙂
They are cool trees!!
I bet they look creepy on a stormy night.
Love the roots!
They burst right through the pavement.
Great shot! I’m trying to decide if that’s a live oak or not.
I think so, in many ways. It has personality!
They are cool! I almost looks like there is ivy growing along the branches, and kind of reminds of ivy covering the side of a house. Great catch!
That is really neat! I wouldn’t doubt if she did think the same. That tree reminds me of a spooky book my mom used to read to me as a child, I believe it was called The Ghost Eye Tree.
Thanks for sharing this photo:)
I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll have to look for a copy. Thanks!
This looks like St-Charles street, where the tram goes all the way to the zoo.
I loved walking down St. Charles street…what a wonderful vibe!
