A military tomb of Harold Roy Fernandez (1938-1979) under an overhanging vault lifted by floodwater in Merrit (Merrick) Cemetery near Highway 46 in Violet, St.Bernard Parish. Eastern New Orleans, Louisiana

🎞️ #511-21

The image is a photograph of a dislodged military tomb in Merrick Cemetery. The photograph was taken on March 19, 2006.

In the foreground, a portion of an overhanging vault hangs above the ground, its underside partially covered by mud and debris. A concrete slab lies on the ground, with only one of its corners intact. In front of the tombstone is a small patch of grass, which also contains yellow flowers that appear to be weeds. The tombstone is partially hidden behind the overhanging vault.

In the background, there are several other objects visible:

* To the left of the photograph, a large portion of the concrete vault lies flat on the ground.
* In front of the tombstone, a few pieces of concrete and debris from the vault lie scattered around.
* Behind the tombstone, another piece of concrete is partially hidden behind the overhanging vault.

The overall atmosphere of the image suggests that it was taken after a natural disaster such as a flood or hurricane had occurred. The dislodged tombstone and surrounding debris indicate that the area has been affected by some kind of catastrophic event. – AI vision

Tombe militaire de Harold Roy Fernandez (1938 - 1979) sous un caveau suspendu soulevé par les eaux d'inondation au cimetière Merrit (Merrick) près de l'autoroute 46 à Violet, Saint Bernard Parish. Nouvelle-Orléans Est, Louisiane, 19 mars 2006. L'image est une photographie d'un caveau militaire délogé au cimetière Merrick. La photographie a été prise le 19 mars 2006. À l'avant-plan, une partie du caveau suspendu repose sur le sol, son dessous partiellement recouvert de boue et de débris. Une dalle de béton est à terre, avec seulement un coin intact. Devant la pierre tombale se trouve une petite pelouse qui contient aussi des fleurs jaunes qui semblent être des mauvaises herbes. La pierre tombale est partiellement cachée derrière le caveau suspendu. En arrière-plan, on voit plusieurs autres objets : * À gauche de la photographie, une grande partie du caveau en béton repose à plat sur le sol. * Devant la pierre tombale, quelques morceaux de béton et débris provenant du caveau sont dispersés autour. * Derrière la pierre tombale, un autre morceau de béton est partiellement caché derrière le caveau suspendu. L'atmosphère globale de l'image suggère qu'elle a été prise après qu'un désastre naturel, tel qu'une inondation ou un ouragan, se soit produit. La pierre tombale délogée et les débris qui l'entourent indiquent que la région a été affectée par une sorte d'événement catastrophique. – French translation
