A long roadside pile of discarded household items—rolled carpets, upholstered chairs, mattresses, and debris—stretches alongside a sidewalk under an overcast sky.

Carpets, furniture, and random bits of residential life removed from unlivable apartments at Bent Tree Village, Port Arthur, TX left at the side of the road waiting for garbage pick up.

There was another pile, of equal size on the other side of the driveway.

Taken nearly 3 months after Rita, 12/14/05
