Down a Louisiana highway

Here are some photos taken on our trip to Ruston. Along Hwy. 167, they're expanding it in fascinating ways.

Then there's the sad reality of the houses being torn down to make way for this new highway. There are half demolished, half lived in neighborhoods along the roadway that I couldn't look at without wondering who lived there and for how long and how much it probably hurts them to see their family homes turned into heaps of rubble.



This one I just liked.
