There Is a House in New Orleans,
They Call the Rising Sun.
And It's Been the Ruin of Many a Poor Boy,
And God I Know I'm One.
My Mother Was a Tailor,
Sewed My New Blue Jeans.
My Father Was a Gamblin' Man.
Down in New Orleans.
Now the Only Thing a Gambler Needs Is
A Suitcase and a Trunk.
And the Only Time He'll Be Satisfied
Is When He's On a Drunk.
The House of the Rising Sun
Oh Mother, Tell Your Children,
Not to Do What I Have Done.
Spend Your Lives in Sin and Misery
In the House of the Rising Sun.
Well I've Got One Foot On the Platform,
And the Other On the Train. There Takeing
Me Back to New Orleans to Wear That Ball and Chain.....
This Song Is Actually Called 'the House of the Rising Sun'

The House of the Rising Sun (Animals). I love that song. (And guessed it of course.)
Your image is beautiful and delicate, and (even though it's a long way from New Orleans)illustrates the title satisfactorily so you have met all requirements of the challenge.
Lovely mystical qualities to this image. Would probably look great printed out on a canvas really really big. Bumping up one. Back to guess "the house of the rising sun"?
