Abandoned New Orleans

Often off limits to the public abandoned photography offers a glimpse into the beautiful urban ruins that are left behind. New Orleans faced a daunting reconstruction after having endured one of the worst storms ever on record in 2005. Hurricane Katrina caused levees to fail releasing billions of gallons of water throughout New Orleans and surrounding parishes. The catastrophic flooding destroyed or damaged over 200000 homes and displaced more than 800000 citizens. Fourteen years after the storm there are still thousands of abandoned properties across the city. As the neighborhoods rebuild many historic structures become renovated demolished or simply forgotten.Series: AbandonedPaperback: 96 pagesPublisher: America Through Time (March 25 2019)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 163499115XISBN-13: 978-1634991155 Product Dimensions: 6.5 x 0.3 x 9.2 inches Shipping Weight: 10.6 ounces
