Somewhat bizarre!

This is more than a little bizarre don't you think? It's pretty jazzy though, which suits the area.

An infrared view of a New Orleans street gives this cemetery scene a psychedelic air.
Burials in New Orleans demand creative solutions due to the city’s high water table. In the past, New Orleanians weighed coffins with stones or even bored holes in them to keep them from floating to the surface. Today, caskets are usually placed in above-ground-vaults, like the ones pictured here."

I guess their reasons excuse it all, at least they thought of things in advance otherwise they would have had some very distressed people had things gone wrong.

I visited this graveyar many years back. It was misty and gloomy when I was there. I agree with Winston, this infrared picture is very trippy.

trippy is a new word for me [sshhh - don't tell] I'm glad you liked it and that it brought back memories for you, Mis.
What a pleasure it is to see you both.
