Clean up crews contracted by BP commence the process of clearing oil, (and journalists where they can) from the beaches. Oil washes ashore in greater concentrations than previously seen on the once pristine beaches of Grand Isle. The economic and environmental impact is devastating with shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips cancelled as police chase tourists from the beaches just two hours drive from New Orleans..Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. .Photo credit; Charlie Varley.

Jerome Benjamin (with weed-eater) and Louis Banks (mower) work to reign in the weeds at an abandoned Lower 9th ward property with flood grime thick on the windows, thick on everything that belongs to an elderly lady the men know as 'Grandma.' Everyone knew 'Grandma,' they say. Her real grandson was supposed to come by and get the gutted home ready for sale. He never showed up. The neighbourhood is deserted. It is hard to imagine anyone living here ever again.

  • 23 March 2020. Near Montreuil Sur Mer, Pas de Calais, France. <br />
Coronavirus - COVID-19 in Northern France.<br />
<br />
The usually busy A16 toll motorway from Calais to Paris is deserted. The A16 is one of France's main arteries carrying freight, tourists and people North and South from the Belgian border servicing Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, Dieppe, and Havre with connections to Paris and the french interior. <br />
<br />
From March 16th French lawmakers imposed strict controls on the movement of people in an effort to stem the spread of the virus. Anyone leaving their home must carry with them an 'attestation,' in a effect a self administered permit to allow them out of the house. If stopped by the police, one must produce a valid permit along with identification papers. Failure to do so is punishable with heavy fines. Movement in France has been heavily restricted by the government.<br />
<br />
Montreuil Sur Mer was the headquarters of the British Army under Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig from March 1916 to April 1919. Over 1,200 year old, the ancient fortified  town with its high ramparts has endured through history, surviving the plague and King Henry VIII's invasion of France in 1544 when the Duke of Norfolk under Henry VIII's command laid a disastrous siege to the town which held firm until Norfolk was forced to withdraw in 1545. Residents are confident the ancient town can survive the coronavirus too. <br />

From March 16th French lawmakers imposed strict controls on the movement of people in an effort to stem the spread of the virus. Anyone leaving their home must carry with them an 'attestation,' in a effect a self administered permit to allow them out of the house. If stopped by the police, one must produce a valid permit along with identification papers. Failure to do so is punishable with heavy fines. Movement in France has been heavily restricted by the government.<br />

Montreuil Sur Mer was the headquarters of the British Army under Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig from March 1916 to April 1919. Over 1,200 year old, the ancient fortified  town with its high ramparts has endured through history, surviving the plague and King Henry VIII's invasion of France in 1544 when the Duke of Norfolk under Henry VIII's command laid a disastrous siege to the town which held firm until Norfolk was forced to withdraw in 1545. Residents are confident the ancient town can survive the coronavirus too. <br />

  • March 6th,2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. Six months after hurricane Katrina devasted the Lower 9th Ward, recovery work, slow and sometimes grim, continues at what appears to be a snail's pace. Volunteers from the 'Common Ground' charitable organisation work tirelessly to gut and prepare sound houses for renovation.
