Pascagoula Mississippi

This is a quickly done panorama from the Katrina damage area in Pascagoula Mississippi. We arrived at night fall and had little light. I had no intention of shooting a pano when I got out of the car but found that no matter what I framed nothing looked really like the devastation we saw unless it was a pano. We were in a curfew area with signs everywhere claiming "You loot, we Shoot". Residents were patrolling and videotaping anyone who looked like they were not a local who belonged there. We only stayed a few minutes and left the area for the long trip home. Hope you can get a small idea of what it was really like down there as the news reports do not start to describe what we saw.

John, I did what you suggested, viewed it original size and scrolled. It was unbelievable, the devastation, and this is only a small view. This did the job, however, perfectly and you did a very impressive job of showing a broad view. Viewing it original size is the only way to go. Well done!
