le combat pour la maison

I was able to go back and photograph more of Lower Mid City this morning. This again is the area that LSU wants to build a new hospital as well as the VA. The residents of this area came back after the storm and rebuilt, some are still struggling to finish the repairs. They sit and wait as their fate is debated.

la bonne nuit, dorment fortement

The perfect end to a long day...

Économiser la mi ville

This morning we headed over to Lower Mid City to the area that LSU has proposed as the new site for their hospital. This area is filled with businesses and homes, some of which are still empty since Katrina but many that have come back and rebuilt.

golfe du Mexique

Today everyone packed into the Van and SUV and headed to Mississippi. We arrived over an hour later at a beach on the Gulf of Mexico. The weather was fantastic, though everyone got sunburned.

temps de pièce en t

While Colleen picked up R&R I photographed part of the City Park golf course. This golf course is currently not in use, back in September it looked much different. The grass had not been cut and there were weeds growing everywhere. Now the surrounding neighbors in the area took it upon themselves to keep the park up.

beauté par l'eau

This morning we headed up to Lake Ponchartrain and I remade a photograph that I took last time. There once was an amusement park where this photo was taken...

It was a very beautiful sunrise over the lake...

We made our way over to where the locals like to fish and parked next to some friends...

bibliothèque

This afternoon we went over to the Ogden Museum to meet up with Richard McCabe who showed us around the museum. Afterwords I was able to photograph inside the old library that the museum is in the process of getting ready to use.
