Water meter art

Feeling warm and fuzzy about a water meter gives new meaning to Satchmo’s “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?”

The iconic version, beloved by locals:

An artist called LeLuna has decorated hundreds of water meters across New Orleans, some with political messages, others with haiku-like enigmas. He and others decorated the ones below, except for the accidental beauty of the yellow gas meter scattered with crepe myrtle blossoms.

Such adornment evokes a fresh muse for nostalgia . . .
