  • 1 June, 2006. Lakeview, New Orleans, Louisiana. Contractors for the US Army Corps of Engineers work on the $50 million 17th Street Canal Interim Closure structure. The dam, designed to prevent water build up in the canal during hurricane storm surges is almost complete. Between 30 and 50 workers per 12 hour shift work around the clock, seven days a week to complete the dam. They continue to drive pilings into the water and have the center section left to complete. The barrier has yet to be automated with hydraulic lifts. For now the Army Corps must use cranes to manually close the structure. The pumping capacity is currently only 10% of pre hurricane Katrina levels, potentially leaving the affluent Lakeview neighbourhood unprotected.

  • 1 June, 2006. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana. First day of hurricane season. Wishful thinking on cleared ground beside the massive, 4,000 ft long, $34 million  flood wall, rebuilt by Cajun Contractors for the Army Corps of Engineers is almost complete and stands, in theory, ready to protect the devastated Lower 9th Ward from the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal. Photographed is the area where a huge barge smashed through the original flood wall, where a tidal wave of water rushed through, devastating the area where so many people died.

Government boats roar past on their way to check barrier islands for oil as locals, tourists and visitors relax and enjoy the beauty of South Beach, an hour from New Orleans. Just a few miles off the coast, an impending disaster looms. With the continual flood of oil washing into the Gulf of Mexico and as winds turn and begin to push from the south, it is only and matter of when, not if the oil reaches the beaches. The barrier islands just offshore are taking a battering soaking up the initial fronts of oil, threatening everything in it's ever encroaching path. <br />

Two dead catfish make up a small fraction of carnage at the beach.  6 dead stingrays also littered a half mile stretch of beach. Whether it's early indications of oil pollution, or catch tossed from a local fishing pier, it is truly tragic to find so many once fine, now dead fish in such a short stretch of beach. Either way, it shows a callous disregard for the environment in which we live. Meanwhile all around locals, tourists and visitors relax and enjoy the beauty of South Beach,  an hour from New Orleans.
