Description
I see most people would like to see the house boats. first i show this cypress houst you saw. a old man saw it here on my computor and he say the wood is cypress and it is on stilts Been there a long time and it good I did not get on the poarch for I be trespassing. I did see some stuff in the house but the shot did not come out.
Now remember I moveing in a boat and I know I got a $1600 camera in my hands so I did not wish to move around the boat much. I sirprise that these shots came out so good I took around 700 and so far I deleted 24 photos. I just looked at around 200 . I know some is like 50 of them i keep just for memory guess we all have those shot a little off but still keep for keep sakes.
Oh This house is out in the water. look on the lower left photo and you see the tree line with another house boat and that how far it out in the water. Only way here is by boat.
thanks for looking and comments too.
my son say just seeing this house was worth the trip along; he right too.
may post one of a far shot of this place to show the area around it.
I had on a 70x250 mm lens then i change it to a 18x135mm lens and I had a polerzie filter on it. I shows the sky blue and the real color of the water for i got shots that have the water blue too. I show them later on. Mud is the color of water around here most the time.

Incredible montage Jocko, I'm with PJ and the three foot stilts and gator traps.lol. Excellent capture's and a great insight, I find it hard to believe anybody spent the night here much less lived here. It's a wonder it didn't just float away when it rained. Thanks for sharing, look forward to more. Bravo!!!!!

They even have a porch swing for listening to frogs at night. Cool shots Jock. Thanks for sharing such a interesting part of your part of America.
Another amazing set of Louisiana views worthy of a calendar or National Geographic!
Fascinating shots! I know that cypress fencing and cypress mulch for the flower bed are the best you can buy so I'm not surprised that this old house has lasted this long, but I still can't believe people would actually sleep here! Cool bayou shot!
How much can I buy it for, that's all I need! "Live Simple, Be Free!"
