Photos of Plaquemines Parish

Plaquemines Parish (pronounced plakkaman's parish) is the "finger" that sticks out of Louisiana south of New Orleans. It was the first part of Lousiana to be hit by Hurricane Katrina and has suffered terrible damage. I've just seen some very interesting photos of the damage:

• A cargo ship resting on a levee
• Fishing boats (big ones) lying on a highway
• A broken levee
• A floating coffin
