What Laura Saw

3/17/10
At the eponymous plantation at La Vacherie, Louisiana even our tour guide was called Laura.

She explained a lot, in a clear and matter-of-fact manner, but didn't go into the reason why the plantation's entree, that is also a gift shop (Laura fans, Laura mugs, Laura postcards, Laura tee shirts, Laura caps, Laura trays and last but not least the original Laura's memoirs) was suffused with an aroma - vanilla - near lethal for some.

a good place for you !

maybe laura's perfume was made with vanilla... and her ghost is still haunting the place, leaving behind her, her peculiar scent...
or maybe vanilla is a good aroma for consumption...drugged with this sugared flavour, you'll get dizzy and buy everything...

baisers

I like vanilla too. :)

So, you've been in the 'land of Louis'? Even the rocking chair seems to come from the past.

What Laura could that be? Laura Ashley?? I really don't know.

But, as this scene reminds me a lot of Gone With the Wind, I'd like to say: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!

Nice to see, you stick to the b/w photography! Have a nice day!

hugs, ERwin

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF AVISA EN PRIVADOOO

jeetje...somehow doet me dit terugdenken aan Dallas en Dynasty enzo...hahaha

fijne avond L

GG.-

The view from Laura. I like the black and white; put into the past visually, it's softened in what seems an appropriate way. Apart from the smell, that Creole plantation was anything but "plain vanilla," though. I suppose things are seldom what they seem. As you say, dat was no pelican on my page! :-) Abrazos, amiga. P.

P.S. M. Grand Cheval est déjà mort, eh? Alors, vive le Cheval?

hello my dear gg! what about a vanilla tea^? ahaahahahah :) asome people seem to ahve a strange attraction for strong smells... i like vanilla only if mixed with something like more strong spices... like coriander, for ex. anyway laura has a quiet view... makes you wanna sit there and start knitting while getting older and older, older than the world...
thansk for your postcard... it arrived today... it didn't brought any rain, but it's cool...i need sun these days to work in the open-air! ;)
love

Wow, mooie foto. Vanille ruikt lekker joh, of was t echt teveel van het goeie?

I've only just discovered Rodchenko, but I will be looking for more :)

I'm with those that think the scent of vanilla is probably brought by Laura's
ghost :)

Lovely lines in this pic of yours too!
