Summary:

"Nocturnal New Orleans casts new light on the Crescent City after dark, capturing the beauty, mystery, and decadence of the city's night hours. In this follow-up to Above New Orleans, photographer Marco Rasi makes use of his expertise in drone photography to give us astonishing shots of the city's streets, byways, and people. The interplay between light and darkness captures the mystical ambience that overtakes New Orleans every time the sun sets. In scenes that rove from night life to wildlife, from revels to reverie, from the French Quarter to the West Bank, Nocturnal New Orleans finds unique vantage points by which to observe the city at night. The text, written by New Orleans geographer Richard Campanella, explores the histories of colonization, religion, technology, and culture that gave rise to the buildings and byways depicted in these photographs. The result is a stunning, luminous, unexpected look at the familiar streets of New Orleans"-- Provided by publisher.
