Mardi Gras Mayhem

Contributed by L LaGrange


This picture was taken in New Orleans a few weeks after hurricane Katrina hit the city. My dad and I were driving around taking pictures of the devastation when we found an abandoned Mardi Gras float warehouse. There were all these weird statues of huge alligators and movie characters everywhere. I found this little chunk of a carousel in the corner and snapped this shot right before my dad got himself stuck in the eiffel tower. It was good to have a bit of fun at the warehouse since the rest of the day was so chaotic for my family and me.
I call the picture Mardi Gras Mayhem
