The Roosting Place of Wild Ducks

St. James Catholic Church in Vacherie, Louisiana was built in 1930, but the parish was founded around 1750. I love its original name: St. Jacques de Cabahanoce. Cabahanoce was a Native American term meaning "the roosting place of wild ducks."

Fascinating name for this church, and a truly iconic southern photo with all that Spanish moss framing the church

Wonderful contrast between the sturdy bricks and the graceful Spanish moss. Especially striking in B&W.
