Description
This beautiful Louisiana plantation house is called Houmas House. It is on the east bank of the Mississippi north of New Orleans. Its land was acquired from the Houma Indian Tribe in the late 1700s.
The main house was completed sometime in the 1840s. Sugar cane, not cotton, was grown on Louisiana Plantations.
We got to stroll through the 38 acres of gardens and take a guided tour through the house. It was nothing short of fabulous.

wow never been there but look like a good place to go
I love pictures of old mansions. :-) This is an awesome scene. It reminds me of Oak Alley. There's another Louisiana Plantation that'd be cool to visit and photograph, called the Myrtles. If you ever go there, I hope you take a photo!
obviously not the Sugar Shack Great shot and cool view
It must have been nice to tour the grounds and the old house.Good shot.
A grand day out, as they say in Yorkshire. You are seeing some wonderful places.
A lovely view through the trees.
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
What a beautiful setting, I would have loved to see inside. x
A house seen through a tangle of trees, way back in the 'lot': And still it draws us right back to it. All the light is back there (the trees are shouting, "hey, don't hog the light, dude!!!") A shot where your 'star' is in the back, and is seen through big thick beautiful shadows. Your fore and middle ground here is alive with those overhanging shadows---typical of these beautiful southern forests and tree-lined yards---with a sweet patch of light in the center, ie on the pathway. I think this is how we archetypally envision southern mansions: approached through a thicket of dappled light and shadow, with old lace-draped trees. You caught the ambiance, Bill, that magical southern feel. A shot true to its subject, very sweetly done, my friend, and iconically southern in spirit.
Excellent shot Bill. I like these old plantation houses, I always think of Rhet Buttler and Scarlet O'Hara
What a beautiful house, I love that wraparound porch! Definitely a southern feel to this shot!
Any chance you post photos from the inside, or the gardens? This is great. The contrast light - dark make this a fantastic photo. It could very well be on the fron cover of a travel guide. Keep up the good work! :-)
It looks like a fantastic place to spend some time. I love this shot, Bill! So tranquil and beautiful!
As I look at this image, I can hear birds singing outside our window at Dauphin Island. Two states away, but it provides the proper auditory backdrop for your gorgeous photograph. Lovely!
Beautiful. Drawn right into this one with the amazing light.
it is a beautiful home and landscape
What everyone above said.
beautiful image
BEAUTIFUL WORK!
A really fantastic shot Bill, no question.. Fave of course! Rob
Great capture Bill. This is representative of the old Deep South. Saw similar mansions in Mobile, AL
