6 Years ago today #3





It is very difficult to capture exactly what happened to an area over five years after a major disaster.
These pictures were all taken within one block in November 2010 and show on the one hand new build progress and nothing done at all as well as what remains of what was somebody's house as a tribute.
My normal 'glib' response is that I just take the pictures, which for New Orleans, 5 years post Katrina just doesn't seem enough.
It was good to see but highly emotive for me, more so for my companion who hadn't visited this area since Katrina.
It's 6 years ago today so please just spare a thought for all the people who lost something, whatever it was, all that time ago in natures 3rd biggest (most devastating) hurricane ever.
