USA. Louisiana. New Orleans. Orleans Parish. Canal Street. Aftermath of hurricane Katrina. No cars and no traffic on the road. The houses (villas, detached or personal houses) were all flooded and the inhabitants have left the town. The belongings have been destroyed by the flooding water and have to be thrown away, like the leather sofa. Household refuses. Natural (boughs of trees) and urban waste. © 2005 Didier Ruef
