A flooded canal lined with power line towers and a concrete levee wall on the left, trees along the right bank, and calm water reflecting the blue sky and distant bridge.

This photo was taken on Thursady after the katrina. The levee breaks were not fixed and the city had achived equilibrium with the lake. This photo was taken at the parish line on teh Metairie Road bridge crossing over the 17 th street canal. The pumping station is in teh backround. Note the higher levee on the Jefferson parish side. The water is covering the top of the levee on the Olreans parish side on Maryland Drive
