Southern Yacht Club and Lighthouse

New Orleans

The Southern Yacht Club, on right, replaces the one that burned in Katrina when the wave action broke gas pipes. It was the first of many fires occurring during Katrina and the first big news I heard on the radio that night. The Lighthouse, on left, is being rebuilt and should look exactly like the one that was knocked over by Katrina, then further damaged by the next hurricane that came along soon after. It was a landmark in New Orleans and on the Register of Historical Places. It is now on cement pilings and cement "stilts" because of the new code of building near water.

Everything looks so quiet and safe, it's hard to imagine what happened. I'm happy to know that life keeps on stronger than disasters

A nice image and I bet some of the historic places well never be restored to their original splendor...

This is so nice to see. I knew they were rebuilding the Yacht Club but didn't know about the old Lighthouse. That's terrific news and it looks finished except for the red paint. :^).

I'm happy to see that the recovery from Katrina continues. A beautiful building and photo.

A super image of these new structures backed by a nice blue sky and low layered clouds.
