Both are photos I took of the Cornstalk Hotel in New Orleans last weekend. I kept shooting that hotel because it has what's known as the most photographed fence in the United States, maybe even the world. Also, our hotel was next door.

Feeling the need to do said fence justice, I have several pictures of the cornstalk. The man who put up the fence did so because his wife was from Iowa, the land of much corn. Even our Nick Nolte-esque carriage driver said that Elvis has stayed there. Marlon Brando did too, during the filming of A Streetcar Named Desire. And our trusty horse Sebastian trotted us past the old residence of Tennessee Williams.

Back to the photos above, these are unretouched and taken by me on different days. The second photo has a visible face looking out from the balcony. The weird orbs, or ectoplasm, look like ghosts you see on tv. I count 5.
