New Orleans – Six Flags Theme Park
Where: New Orleans
Details: The park has been closed since August 2005 after it was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina
The effects of Hurricane Katrina, which ravished New Orleans over fifteen years ago in 2005, are still being felt to this day. The community continues to work to get back to economic prosperity, and a photograph like this shows why it has been so difficult. Tourist attractions like the Six Flag theme park have never recovered since the hurricane left the entire area flooded. New Orleans will likely never be the same again.

Basilica of St. Francis
Where: Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, Umbria, Italy
Details: Since 2000, the UNESCO organization has classified the Basilica of St. Francis a World Heritage site.
A UNESCO world heritage site since 2000, the Basilica of St. Francis in Umbria in Italy is a popular tourist destination for foreigners. The site is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars, named because it is where Saint Francis was born, and eventually passed away. Visitors see the area as a place of Christian pilgrimage, and the surrounding clouds seen in this drone photo shows that it has some mystical qualities too.
