Metairie and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina - 10.23.05

Further down Franklin Ave. stands a deer watching guard over what remains of its property. The water line and dead grass from the salt water tells the story. Again, the lack of background noise from people and birds was eerie. The isolation and quiet surrounding us made us feel like we were in an old Twilight Zone movie.
