[Editor’s Note: One of our photographers, Dr. Tom Stigall, went down to the sea by way of the bayous recently, and returned with these photos. Photos and text below are Tom’s.]
“All photos were made in south Louisiana (south of Houma) where there are endless bayous and marshes. The landscape of the marshland and beyond, where rain clouds can be seen in the distance was taken in Cocodrie. Similarly, the photo of the elevated red building was taken from the site of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMC) in Cocodrie. The photos of trees were taken along LA Highway 57, a stretch of about 25 miles between Cocodrie and Houma. The photo of the boat was a found still life along the way.
“We also visited an unusual sculpture garden in the area, close to Chauvin… lots of angels and other figures juxtaposed in odd ways.”
“Everything in south Louisiana is somehow connected to water!”
