More than 1500 white flags with a name on each fly in memory of the people who lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina in the metro New Orleans area. Many drowned or died in their attics from the heat.
When one drives by, it appears to be a symbolic event to mark the second anniversary of Katrina. However, if one walks among the flags and reads the names on the flags it suddenly becomes very real. When taking this photo, the first name I read was that of a friend.
