As we were flying in on the airplane to New Orleans, this was the view down at Venetian Isles, a waterfront subdivision in New Orleans East. The subdivisions with canals up to each block, took on a lot of water from Katrina ( The eye passed right by this area) and in Gustav and Ike which pushed water up from the Gulf.On the right, is the pass from Lake Pontchartrain into Lake Catherine and eventually to the Gulf.

Interesting shot, I don't think I would like to live there though. Too much worry. Have a great weekend.
Nope. Not for me. The lifestyle might be nice for a change but the water and the humidity would be more than I could take. If you can cope with that then it would be nice.
Thanks for visiting my blog and the kind comment. I'm glad you stopped by because then I visited your blog in return. I have enjoyed looking at your photos and posts. A great blog!
Oh I could go for some Jambalaya or a Po Boy!!!
Of course, all of those houses are way up on piers, many a good fifteen feet or so, so normally they stay high and dry. You can see what's left of Fort Macomb along Chef Pass, still ready to protect us from the enemy!
It's pretty from the sky.
great photo from the plane. I have never had much luck.
We've passed through this area lots of times coming from Mississippi. (I think)
Great aerial shot!
