Bourbon St, New Orleans, USA, 8th November 2014.

On Bourbon Street on Saturday night there was a great mass of people (and definitely no vehicles).

Some were having a good time and others were having a good time wandering up and down watching other people having a good time….

.

There were also many people surveying the scene from the balconies.

.

I ducked into a bar where there was perhaps a karaoke event, with one person singing to backing music…

.

… and lots of other people enjoying themselves.

.

.

.

Some of the pedestrians were more remarkable than others.

.

This is Kitty with Brownie and Bacon Bit, camped together on the pavement.

.

There was interaction between the people on the street and the people on the balconies.

.

.

.

The sign says it all…

.

Inside another pub…

.

A view of the street from a balcony.

.

These people were catching strings of brightly covered beads being thrown down from the balcony.

.

Inside a shop stuffed with curious objects.

.

Same shop.

.

A bridal party on the street.

.

And finally, a couple of guardians of the Law, considerately posing with their patient steeds.
