A wide canal with small fishing boats docked along the left shore, an orange floating containment boom stretched across the water, and jets of water spraying up in the background near utility poles and trees.

Metairie and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina - 10.23.05

I'm still looking toward Bucktown by the section that ended by the Lake. You'll notice in this photo there are three streams of water being pumped into the lake. For those of you familiar with this area - if you look behind the second stream from the left and look behind it, you'll notice something is missing. It's the wonderful old white camp with the tin roof that stood watch over the area for many, many years. It was filmed in "The Big Easy" movie with Dennis Quaid many years ago. The scene showed a Cajun band playing and people were dancing outside at a party in front of the camp. The camp is gone now but remains a great memory to me.
