I was bike riding on a beautiful day when I came across the Marigny Opera House. I stopped for a minute and could tell it was once a church, to me is a beautiful old architecture and I just happen to have Hannah B (Mavic 2 Pro) and to the air I went. Just a quick video of places or building of interest. Wikipedia tidbit: Marigny Opera House, also called the Church of the Arts, is an opera house and performing arts center in Faubourg Marigny, New Orleans.
