Other NOLA pics from Nov 2006, Set of 60 Photos

nola1

Went ahead and uploaded around 60 pics from NOLA and the Greater New Orleans Area I took last Nov 2006. Not quality pics by any means but I decided I’d put them up anyway. The most striking thing in them all is the lack of humanity for miles and miles on the east side of the city.

What they lack in quality, most of them make up in size. I posted large versions of them all so close up views of the devastation can be had.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt aren’t in a single one of them. Hear that Google? Not in a single one.

    Dear lord, it looks like someone dropped a bomb.

    And that’s where they’ve got something to show. (I’ve also got a set up of pics from Gulfport, where everything was blown away.) But what is oddest about going through the area is best exemplified by this pic:

    No one there. I don’t know what might have changed between Dec and now, but back in Nov, to the east, it was miles and miles and miles of no one there. Shopping centers and big apartment complexes and businesses, all ragged from the storm, debris still scattered about, and no one there.

    Home Depot was there though, and its parking lot was jam packed full.

    “Shopping centers and big apartment complexes and businesses, all ragged from the storm, debris still scattered about, and no one there.”

    Reminds me a little bit of Detroit… large buildings, shopping areas, but no people. My friend, who grew up there, said they put up huge quantities of awnings to cover the fact that the buildings were empty.

    Manmade landscapes with no people… always disconcerting.

    I’ve only been to Detroit once, about 8 years ago, and remember well how everything was shuttered. Just like in Moore’s movie.

    Also remember an incredible long long street with architecture hangovers from the 50s, one after another, just remarkable. I didn’t have a camera and oh how I wished for one.
