On a post-Katrina mission trip to Pascagoula, MS this millwork, called "gingerbread" was found just lying around with nothing in particular to do.
Oh, and for those who can "just see this in BW," I do have done a nice BW version. But in comparing the two, I am convinced color is better here. IMO, the rich tones of the wood porch surface underneath the weathered white of the old millwork does show this image off to its best advantage.
A big thank you to all who have or will stop by and look or leave a comment or a suggestion, or just say "hey!" Even if I don't get to respond to your comment here, I'll try to get to your site today. I appreciate each and every one of you so much!

@Lost Valley Views: Glad you like LVV. What has happened to your blog? Can't get there from here. I miss your shots.
@Rebecca: Thank you Rebecca. I am happy you find this photo attractive. As for my vocation, the "M" word isn't always a welcome thing in all circles of people. Too many stereotypes and bad experiences. Still, I'm glad you and Mandy approve.
@bronzebilly u.k.: Wow, thank you Billy, am pleased to know you approve! And so we press onward, to greater and greater heights (and photos, too)... Blessings.
@alex: Most kind; thank you alex.
@Laurie: It is hard to describe the feeling I have -- the upper Gulf Coast is the region where I was born. To see New Orleans, and the LA/MS Gulf Coast in ruins still today is truly a sad prospect. Yet the undefeated spirit of so many of the people in the face of this terrible adversity is an inspiration. This old millwork serves as a reminder of what was, but will likely be incorporated into what will yet be. Even moreso, the people. So sadness, yes. But no despair!
