Settings.......

......or the "where" of most of our little adventures. None of these images taken by me unfortunately.



Satellite image(post-Katrina) of the MS Sound, barrier islands, and surrounding waters of LA, AL and the Gulf.



A few really nice aerial shots (post-Katrina) taken by Steve Martin (http://www.pbase.com/smms/profile). Ship Island (above), looking east.......



......and Cat Island (above), looking northeast. Note the erosion on the south tip.



A good aerial that I found on the web of West Ship Island(near) and East Ship Island(in the distance). This one is pre-Katrina. Now, East Ship Island consists only of the dark, tree-covered area in the center. Most of the sand on either end has been eroded away. You can see this in the above satellite image. Looking at the barrier islands, East Ship Island is the third island from the left (appears as just a white dot). Unbelievable.
