听月水榭

A mauve sunset blankets a boatyard in Yscloskey, Louisiana, in 2001. This and nearly all the other fishing hamlets in the marshlands of St. Bernard Parish southeast of New Orleans were flattened in the summer of 2005 by Hurricane Katrina's 20-foot (6-meter) storm surge. Years later, the region's fisheries and oil and gas industries are still rebuilding.

2001年，紫红色的落日降临在路易斯安那州的Yscloskey。这里和其它位于新奥尔良东南的圣伯纳德教区的沼泽地中的渔村一样，都在2005年夏季中被卡特里娜飓风引起的高达20英尺（合6米）的风暴潮给夷为平地。这么多年过去了，该地区的渔业和油气工业仍处在重建当中。
