Panama City, FL - The first time since Wisconsin that my American friends were recycling. There is nearly zero consideration of recycling during my travels in the USA. Plastic/ glass/paper are used everywhere for everything, and all of it goes directly into one bin and then the landfill. This is of course, not sustainable or respectful of the environment or efforts by much of the Western world to overcome single-use plastics and everything else.

This “live oak”, Quercus virginiana, is one of many beautiful yet enchanting and bewitching oaks of New Orleans. These trees are respected and loved in this city.

They are beautiful but I found them rather haunting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1705366162671-4CHM06VEIKZZ6I1N7LM5/IMG_E9857.JPG What's New - The Big Easy - New Orleans - The French Quarter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1705366171180-XQV882C6RRLJS3RQ4LYI/IMG_E9871.JPG What's New - The Big Easy - New Orleans - The last of my Paddle Wheelers for now. https://www.weavingwatersexpedition.com/news/the-mississippi-sound-to-new-orleans monthly 0.5 2024-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1704385310543-CM4W7V9KVS9VXZGB8OH7/New_Orleans_de_la_Tour_map_1720_1759.jpg What's New - The Mississippi Sound to New Orleans - The 1700s Map of the Mississippi River Delta The map shows the delta, Lake Borgne as a lake, and the original plan for the City of New Orleans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1704385162337-XEMFSGDJS3ZT8CY5ADY0/IMG_9677.JPG What's New - The Mississippi Sound to New Orleans - The Rigolets Cut / Gulf Inter-Coastal Waterway The canal and its towboats east of New Orleans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1704385171751-P99LU2TEAFR7L4Q45PIW/flood+wall+and+pumps.JPG What's New - The Mississippi Sound to New Orleans - A Barrier Wall and Pumping Station An example of the levee / wall and a pumping station between the Gulf Inter-Coastal Waterway and the Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1704385208729-3267XL6OMSL1CX694RLV/landfill.JPG What's New - The Mississippi Sound to New Orleans - The Gentilly Landfill A stream of trucks dumping garbage along the waterway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1704385183804-DHQ46O9F98H4JA72O1WD/IMG_9683.JPG What's New - The Mississippi Sound to New Orleans - Lake Borgne Surge Barrier The gates were open this day and close during storm surge threats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1704385263047-4RGKYN7P63ZE6USAROHT/IMG_9766.JPG What's New - The Mississippi Sound to New Orleans - The Industrial Canal This is canal connects the Mississippi River (right) to Lake Pontchartrain (left). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1704385287608-CS606CN9JGM67BBGSLR8/IMG_9768.JPG What's New - The Mississippi Sound to New Orleans - Water Weaver in the Marina The New Orleans RV Resort and Marina along the Industrial Canal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1704385300751-LVNLTEI6BVE30U7D4Z8Y/IMG_9764.JPG What's New - The Mississippi Sound to New Orleans - Race Day on the Industrial Canal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63d98063025e480726275d20/1704385322068-2KTSUWLB652BG82IG4FE/Picture1.jpg What's New - The Mississippi Sound to New Orleans - Streetview Image of the France Street Levee This levee and wall protect the community of Gentilly Woods.
