These photos were taken between September 5th and September 9th in and around New Orleans. All rights are reserved by the photographer and use without permission is prohibited. (Linking in to display a photo is OK (with attribution) as long as my bandwidth holds out.) Most of these were taken by me, but there are several, where noted, taken by Tim Connolly.

Your photos are leaving me speechless. Thanks for posting them. It's so hard to imagine the devastation without actually seeing it.
