there used to be a street leading up to this house...



yes, this house is now only accessible by boat. mainly due to drilling, louisiana is losing land at a rate of approximately 100 yards of land every 38 minutes


Christmas day we went to visit our cousins who live about 45 minutes south of new orleans. it was a beautiful day and about 76 degrees, so we went for a boat ride in the waterways leading to the Gulf where i witnessed several houses like the one above.

we also saw blue herons, brown pelicans, osprey, egrets, and flying fish... thankfully no snakes or alligators were spotted.
