The area surrounding the Greek Theatre on the LSU campus became The Enchanted Forest in the 1930's . At one time there was a 8 foot statue of Desoto the Spanish Explorer. The statue was destroyed and thrown into the Mississippi River . The locals say the statue met the same fate as the man.

You have to love their sense of humor Marsha.
The Spanish Moss looks good. Perhaps a little over exposure on the seating in the foreground but it does allow for some good shadows.
Good post.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Fascinating shot with lots of nice curved lines in contrast to the hanging moss. I think all the explorers should have gotten themselves real jobs and left the natives alone.

I like those "bearded trees" and the red flowers on the small tree. A lovely scene well captured, Marsha.

Very cool how that moss hangs down. It definitely sets a mood. Enjoyed this shot.

I like the way you included the theater seats in this, Marsha. The moss is really cool! Excellent shot! I think all the old DeSoto cars were thrown in the river, too! LOL.

This is a terrific photo, great angle on the seats and the trees are so beautiful with the moss hanging. Nice color also.
