Katrina in Pictures: Oriental Rugs
I've pulled together some of my Katrina pics to share today. The strange thing is that although I tend to take a lot of photos, I was in such shock upon returning that I didn't take as many shots as I should have. There are still so many reminders with us today; the flood lines, demolished buildings, and empty homes that photos can never do justice to the vacant feel that this city still has.

1. I work at an online store that sells area rugs (http://www.rugsale.com/) and we work out of an Oriental Rug store that sells fine hand knotted rugs. They are stacked up on stands on the floor. A flood could ruin literally millions of dollars in inventory. For these people to face these kinds of losses and keep a sense of humor speaks volumes about the resilience of people.
