The ruin of Shell Beach

Here's a notable photoset from Flickr, posted this month. The 97 photos are viewable as a slideshow.
I walked the length of the road from the Yscloskey/Hopedale highway to Lake Borgne to document the destruction of this small St. Bernard Parish fishing community by the post-Katrina flooding due to shoddy levee construction and the continued use of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MR-GO) years after it should have been closed.

Forgot to mention that the "I" speaking there is the notable New Orleans writer, Poppy Z. Brite.
