Description
Fort Pike is a decommissioned 19th-century United States fort, named after Brigadier General Zebulon Montgomery Pike. It was built following the War of 1812 to guard the Rigolets pass in Louisiana, a strait from the Gulf of Mexico, via Lake Borgne, to Lake Pontchartrain bordering New Orleans. It was located near the community of Petite Coquille, now within the city limits of New Orleans. The fort's remains were long a tourist attraction, but it was damaged by the Hurricane Katrina storm surge in 2005, Hurricanes Gustav and Isaac in 2008 and 2012 and is now closed for good.

Love the textures but the curves really draw you into and all the way through the image. Beautiful work.
Steve Raley
Beautifully captured, Jurgen...your composition works to draw the viewer into the image. B&W was certainly the way to go, the tone and texture are spot-on, working all the way up the grayscale and back again. Very nicely done!

I've always loved arches and how their creative use in framing a scene. This is an EXCEPTIONALLY wonderful scene with great perspective, beautiful curves, lines and repeating patterns. Well done Jurgen.
