Been To New Orleans Lately?

As you can probably guess, I've been forced into armchair traveling these days. No worries. Soon I'll be strong enough to put one foot in front of the other. Nonetheless, my friend Tim found himself in New Orleans this week and had this to report:

You could come from the airport, stay and play around the French Quarter, ride along St. Charles Street and never know anything ever happened to this town, then you drive for miles and miles and miles and this is all you see […] no people — nothing — 7 months later?

His photos are amazing even though taken from a low resolution handheld TREO phone.

Like Tim, I'm amazed that after 7 months and millions of dollars the scene still looks hopeless.
