I've been busy over the last couple of weeks taking random photos with my phone. I believe that I have been able to capture some beautiful and peaceful landscapes here in central Louisiana.
The first of my photos were taken at sunrise at the England Air Park in Alexandria.
My second set of photographs were taken around Bayou Boeuf and what remains of the old Campbellite Church (erected in 1840) in Cheneyville.
My last set of photos were taken on a rainy afternoon along the banks of Bayou Boeuf in an area that once was the small town of Meeker just south of Lecompte.
I hope that these images bring you some peace before starting another work week.
Cheers.
