Shelter

When I arrived at this shelter I had walked full circle in the park. I was tired and sunburned by then. And so, these last photos conclude my journey in City Park.

Cypress Stumps

Once past the second bridge, I approached the area where my journey started. I could see the shelter in the distance. A grouping of cypress stumps grabbed my interest before I continued.

Second Bridge to the Casino

As I passed one bridge, I saw a second bridge that crossed the lagoon to the Casino. It had a number of steps. It was a smaller bridge by comparison.

Bridge to the Casino

Before long I reached a bridge that leads to the Casino building on the other side of the lagoon. Behind the Casino was a red building. I noticed some people picnicking at a table nearby.

Shy Turtles

A group of turtles were resting on a toppled tree limb in the lagoon.
As I approached several of them dove into the water. Their hearing must be pretty good.

Winding Path

The path continued to wind between groupings of trees and the lagoon. At times I ventured closer to the lagoon edge. Eventually I could see the New Orleans Museum of Art on the other side of the lagoon.

Edge of the Lagoon

The path continued to curve along the edge the lagoon. I enjoyed photographing reflections in the water along the way. Some dead trees were mixed in with the vegetation.
