Ships waiting for clearance to Port of New Orleans

Montz, Louisiana

The Port was closed for two weeks after Hurricane Katrina and the first ship, carrying coffee beans to our coffee plants in New Orleans, was allowed in yesterday. These are awaiting clearance or space. The Port really broke its neck to open that quickly, so many warehouses were damaged or burned. You know, this Hurricane Katrina would make a good book, sort of like our civil war in the 1800's. I have been wanting to write a book all of my life; maybe this is my chance.

Canon PowerShot G5
1/1250s f/4.5 at 7.2mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Superb. I really like this shot with the big sky and grassy coastal bank overshadowing the freighters - nature dwarfs our feeble efforts, in storm or in pleasant sunny weather.

A book is a wonderful idea. You can just tell from your photos and comments here that it would be a good one.

It looks beautiful. It is hard to believe that Mother Nature was so cruel only a short time ago.
