St. Louis Cemetery No. 3

St. Louis Cemetery No. 3

Formerly known as Bayou Cemetery, (where it is believed that those with leprosy were buried), St. Louis No. 3 was created in 1848 on the high stretch of land known as the Esplanade Ridge. Reverend G. L. Duquesnay bought the land to be used as a cemetery for the St. Louis Cathedral after an outbreak of yellow fever. The cemetery had three main aisles and four smaller alee's (aisles). In 1865, the depth of the burial grounds was extended to provide for less crowding. This cemetery is larger than both St. Louis Nos. 1 and 2 combined.

Murfreesboro Red Barn

Murfreesboro Red Barn

Took this image with my first digital camera in April of 2002!
Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5 help quite a lot.

There is a horrendous street light on the face of the barn these days.
