Jazz Land

This weekend I went with a friend to Jazz Land, an amusement park that was abandoned after Katrina.  It was equally eery and fascinating and it made me think of how for all his would-be control man is so easily put back in his place by nature.  It's very odd to be in a place that used to be so full of life, that was created purely for entertainment to be so lifeless.  It's very post-apocalyptic.  The more optimistic, environmental side of me was happy to see though how quickly nature bounces back and how much it doesn't respect these artificial boundaries that we create.  There were fish in ponds of the log flume ride, the parking lot was half covered in grass and flowers and there were more birds there then I see in the city.  It was lovely.  


There are more photos on flickr if anyone wants to see them.

Also, the zucchini bread was delicious.  I've never been a fan of zucchini, so I was a little disappointed that we got one in the produce box this weekend.  Never again will I be disappointed by zucchini.
