Here we are in Biloxi, Missippi. This was taken at the Village Square. Many of the Live Oak trees were destroyed during hurricane Katrina. Several chain saw artists offered to create scupltures rather than totally destroying them. This is the only one that is painted. (FYI, you can click on any of these pictures to get a bigger view)
This is part of a memory wall, the highest portion on the right shows how high the waves were at this point. I was totally facinated at this mosaic depicting the angry Katrina ocean.
Highway 90 is filled with these, they are spectacular.
Here is an angel in Bay St.Louis, actually there are 2 angels. The story is that there were 2 people hanging on to this tree for 3 hours during Katrina. Check out the link.
Here is a Live Oak tree to show how big they are.
This was a neat.
See how little Don & Bruno look.
Since gambling is illegal in most states, many coastal states have casinos on barges in the water. Several of those were picked up by the wind and water during the storm and dropped accross Route 90. The Hard Rock Casino was just a few days away from opening when Katrina hit and it was demolished, except for this sign. It has since been rebuilt.
