Ryan S. Ballard's "No Place Like NOLA" series consists of 14 intricately detailed and colorful birdhouses were built to celebrate the unique architecture, history, and culture of New Orleans. They can all be seen in the New Orleans Botanical Gardens and each one represents a different district in New Orleans. Some of the birdhouses are modeled off of specific historic structures in the city, while others are composites based on local architectural styles. Each birdhouse is more than just a work of art each one has a solar-powered porch light that comes on at night using an electronic light sensor.
