Photographer's Note
Oak Alley Plantation is located 55 miles west of New Orleans along and south bank of the Mississippi River and half way between the very small towns of St. James and Vacherie.
The mansion was built in 1837 and was in a sad state of disrepair by the early 1920's when purchased and restored by the Stewart family in 1925. Upon the death of Mrs. Stewart the property was turned over to a non-profit organization which opened Oak Alley to the public.
It has been the location for numerous TV shows, movies, music videos, commercials and fashion photo shoots and is open to the public for tours. There is a restaurant, gift shop and overnight accomodations on the property as well.

Hello Gregory,
although there`s quite a lot of alleys close to where I live, I΄ve never seen one as beautiful as this. The huge trees covered with moss just look amazing, leading the guests towards the beautiful house in the far background.
Must have been a wonderful place to visit,
Katrin

This is so special Gregory, your POV emphasises the wonderful avenue of trees perfectly, are they the same age as the building? I love the way the trees frame the graceful old building. I'm sure, years ago, when people rode up to the front door they were very well aware of the "importance" of the occupants! Superb shot. Kind regards Rosemary
