The reconstruction and recovery from Hurricane Katrina has been a slow struggle in New Orleans. You still see areas that have not been rebuilt. My cousin lives in the French Quarter which was not flooded when the levies broke. The people who live there did evacuate and they were not allowed to return for some time. Rescue agencies searched each house looking for people and animals left behind. Many houses in the area have not painted over the poignant reminders left by the rescuers. Theme #126 Graffiti.

You've found a really interesting and historic piece of 'graffiti' to show us. And, of course, you made it into a great image. It's really interesting that people would want the continuing reminder of the tragic flooding.
Your image tells a story! This is awesome and a sad reminder of the struggles that New Orleans still faces!
A very touching image.
A very poignant photo! I think they're smart to leave the reminders; we shouldn't forget this tragedy.
Just as a photograph, the colors and details are eye-catching. The history gies it additional poignancy.
You have taken a portion of a tragic event and made it into a beautiful photograph. Nice job.
That's a really unique interpretation and a beautiful photo of a terrible time.
I'd can't add to what's been said, well done Clara!
Very poignant - and the contrasting color in the photo are arresting, too.
