French Quarter Sunset

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : The French Quarter is the "old city" of New Orleans, the heart of the original city built by the French in the 18th century. Much of its architecture is of French origin, although a number of its buildings were constructed after it became US territory following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. In this piece by Bumble Bee Productions, you'll get an aerial view of this historic neighborhood along the Mississippi, including some great shots of its most prominent landmark: Jackson Square, which lies on the edge of the French Quarter.

I decided to drone the St. Louis Cathedral and surrounding areas. The sunset was covered by clouds mostly but the rays would break from time to time. Growing up in this area, the iconic St. Louis Cathedral is the most memorable location for me. The Jackson brewery was once an actual Jax Beer brewery and would smell sweet hop while the street musicians would fill the air with amazing sounds of New Orleans. The French Quarter has not changed much but it like any city there is a dark side to this amazing place of history, culinary and music.
