On the West Pearl River in SE Louisiana. They apparently are squatters who set up up pretty much wherever they want along the banks or the river.

They don't look too stable! But they are, at least, "shelter" when many people have none at all.
Very interesting shot -

Interesting. You might consider cropping from the bottom a bit so as to bring more attention to the houses and trees.

The house on the left looks like it may be taking on water, or close to it. This shot would also be a good candidate for the Environmental PJ gallery.

Interesting. I think this would have been a good image for the photojournalism forum.

I hope they indoor/outdoor carpeting inside, because it sure looks like they will get wet feet on a regular basis.
