NEW ORLEANS -after Katrina




You can see how high the flood water went by the rust on the gate.




We saw many front steps with no house.






Lisa & Donnie put this on their home to let people know they were okay.













These new houses are part of the "Musicians Village" a joint venture of well-known musicians to provide housing for people who lost their homes during the flood.







The Lower Ninth Ward was badly damaged by the hurricane.





Brad Pitt's foundation is called "Make it Right" and here is one of his houses under construction.




Maryann Spriggens stands with her family in front of her new home in the Ninth Ward. As soon as the services are hooked up she will be allowed to move in.









"This was Home" is written on the outside wall of this house along with the markings of the people who came by after the hurricane to see if there were still people in the house.




The zeros on this marking on the front door of the house means the occupants are gone.






Here is a house that has been raised up onto stilts and is partially repaired.





The writing on the outside wall of this house says it all.




Here is a house with a hole in the roof chopped open by someone in the actic.


The Mennonite Disaster Service came from Canada to New Orleans to help out. Here is their work site in the Ninth Ward.








A city of contrasts!
