It was the Delcambre Shrimp Festival. I arrived the final day of the festival - Sunday - toward the end of the
special Mass, with Knights of Columbus emissaries and princesses and a
king.

And a darn good reunion by regionally famous musicians of old: G G
Shinn, T K Hulin, Warren Storm and others. I saw quite a few people
approaching the man I later identified as Mr. Shinn, getting their
photos taken with him.

I'd like to return to Delcambre - lots of interesting architecture there, along with picturesque boats and shrimp-business stuff.

Even after almost a year of seeing the above photo, I am still bemused by the imagery of a naked woman astride a shrimp. Is it a
giant shrimp and a normal-sized woman? A miniature-sized woman atop a normal-sized shrimp? What does it mean?
