I enjoyed trying to photograph the St Charles Ave trolleys, from the inside and the outside. The Garden District has some interesting structures and locales, as does Audubon Park. There are nice river views, with some interesting boats, and people watching along the "Moon Walk." Also, the Aquarium has a lot of interesting things to see and shoot.
