This was my 20th plus visit, lost count so long ago, and yet the city never ceases to amaze me. It was a late December trip, and the city was as vibrant and lively as ever. One of the highlights of my trip was visiting St. Louis Cemetery #1, one of the oldest and most famous cemeteries in New Orleans. I took many pictures of the ornate tombs and graves, and the eerie beauty of the cemetery. It was a unique experience, and I learned more about the history and culture of the city. ![Weathered above-ground tomb in a New Orleans cemetery](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2023/03/1P0A0857.jpg) ![Sculpted religious figure on an ornate cemetery monument](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2023/03/1P0A0816.jpg) ![Narrow paved aisle between cemetery tombs](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2023/03/1P0A0826.jpg) ![White and gray cemetery vaults beneath cloudy skies](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2023/03/1P0A0832.jpg) ![Path through a dense collection of above-ground tombs](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2023/03/1P0A0846.jpg) ![Old stone tomb beside a low grassy plot](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2023/03/1P0A0852.jpg) Another landmark that always catches my attention was the St. Louis Cathedral.
