More from New Orleans: Day of the Dead parade

I was fortunate enough to stumble upon the Day of the Dead parade in New Orleans. About 100 people took part in a somewhat impromptu parade. Skeletons on bikes rolled up on a dark corner just east of the French District. Ornate, white buffaloes slumbered down the street. A ghostly band slowly formed. A crowd gathered. The parade commenced!
