I-10 Irish Bayou exit in Louisiana

Leaving New Orleans on I-10, driving East towards Mississippi, and before the bridge over Lake Pontchartrain, there's an exit to Irish Bayou. I decided to get off there and take some photos because of this castle house. Behind this house is I-10.

And as you're driving I-10, off to the right, you'll also see the back side of this Quonset Hut house on stilts. When I was in the Navy, we lived in Quonset Huts on the Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Puerto Rico.

After photographing these houses at the Irish Bayou exit I continued on I-10 and drove to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.
