USA. Louisiana. New Orleans. Orleans Parish. Chartres Street in the Vieux Carre (French Quarter). Aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Nobody, not a single person, no cars and no traffic on the road. None of the houses of the French Quarter were flooded, but most of its inhabitants have left the town. An american flag at the staircase's entrance to a private house. View on two towers from the downtown area. © 2005 Didier Ruef
