Beached by Katrina - Catman

A 20 foot storm surge on the Peal River beached this boat onto levee st. in Pealington Mississippi by Hurricane Katrina.
Its time is over and it will slowly decay into a useless heap of fiber-glass, aluminum and wood.

Very striking! What leaves the strongest impression is all the debris/branches on the deck and cabin. They've clearly damaged this craft beyond any hope of repair. Yet the blue of the hull is so bright and attractive, still. It almost jumps right out of the shot.

I don't know why I chose the Katrina images for this theme, but you may have it right, I was subconsciously relating to the current disaster in West Tennessee.

Well I could salvage this boat and sail up the Mississippi to Mediapolis and we could go shot the Mall of America. I love that place.
Shirley, I bet you could find some neat shots for the theme in there. Old and young ying and yang. the rides may present interning passage of time perspectives.

I would love to have a boat like that! Do you think they would sell her cheap? Surely it would be salvageable? :o( I think she would be fun to cruise the Mississippi River on. It must have been hard to look at all this damange and now you have a horrible desaster very near by you again.
