The limbs of an oak tree stretch behind a statue of Jesus monday at the Pointe-aux-Chenes Marina. “I put the statue there about 8 years ago,” said marina owner Barry Fanguy. “When people go out fishing, they have a reminder of the good Lord, and it hopefully brightens their day.” While the oak trees and statue are both icons of the area, they are located behond the current plans for the Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane-protection project and will likely flood in the years to come.  In search for more information about the statue, I stumbled across this photographer as well. I’m always surprised by the amount of interest that has been taken in this area in the past after the hurricanes and oil spill of the early 2000’s.
