And I'm quite fond of Lake Pontchartrain. I won't soon forget crossing it on the causeway and seeing NOLA floating on air as I approached the southern shore.

This time, my wife and I could see it from our hotel room and we had the same sensation you describe but in reverse -- the rim of the lake seemed to be suspended above the city, ready to spill down into it.
