I came across a moving article today regarding the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans, just six months after Katrina ravaged the city. It conjures some great imagery and incredible juxtapositions between the colorful, exuberant celebration of Mardi Gras and the utter devastation that still lies mere blocks from Bourbon Street.

If you have the time, it's definitely worth checking out.
