9th Ward New Orleans, Louisiana, 2007-July-22
(Click on image for full size.)
It’s two years after Katrina, and while many parts of New Orleans are “up and running” (though still not at previous levels or standards), many parts are also untouched and unrepaired. I took this photo in the 9th Ward section of town, one of the hardest hit.

PS My understanding is that as much as the photo looks like a rural area, this was a densely populated, small-yard type of neighborhood. The overgrown “meadows” are where other houses stood that were either washed away in the storm or bulldozed shortly after due to excessive damage.
