Until you are up this high, it's hard to visualize just how much water New Orleans is surrounded by, how flat it all is, how low-lying relative to all that water.
A colony was established here almost 300 years ago, practically on wetlands.
A beautiful city, in sight and in spirit. How much longer can it survive?
Until I am able to return, I hope they can hold on tight. ⚜️
