The Big Easy
The Crescent City, so named because it was built on the banks of an oxbow of the Mighty Mississippi, has facinated the world under four flags.
A unique cultural melting pot of Native American, African American, French, Spanish and American influences has created the unique cajun, creole magical mix of red beans, Mardi Gras and jazz.
Floods, hurricanes, wars, disease have bruised her and yet it endures, its fabric woven into our culture and the imagination of the world.
Here is some of her best, and worst, as she carries on and rebuilds.

Palm Beach Equestrian Center
Host to the annual Winter Equestrian Festival, a season long event showcasing the world's finest equestrian athletes, both the four and two legged variety. Frequented by Olympic champions and part of the US Olympic trials.
My girls rode here almost twenty years ago when it was no more than a ring or two. Now a virtual city, it has defined Wellington, anchored it's meteoric rise, and established Palm Beach County as the home of one of the world's premier equestrian fascilities.
It is amazing to watch these world class athletes weighing in excess of 1,800 pounds perform with only a subtle nudge, a tug on a rein, the pressure of the riders thigh and a few words of encouragement.

In Memoriam of the crew of the Challenger
Discovery Night Launch
Image by Against The Wind Images via FlickrWe all know where we were, when it happened. I saw it live from the pool deck of the Orlando Twin Towers. The vapor trail and remants of the explosion hung silently against the azure sky, refusing to disperse.
These images are of the last night launch of the shuttle Discovery, shot from the bridge over the Banana River, less than 3 miles from the pad. The closest access one can have without clearance.
They are posted here on the 25th anniversary of the Challenger disaster, in memory of Christa Mcauliffe and her fellow crew members.
