Pelican Rest, by Barry Steven Greff

As the sun sets on another day in the Gulf Coast city of Biloxi, Mississippi, local sea birds return to perch for the night on a dock that was ravaged years before by Hurricane Katrina, yet still remains in disrepair. Although this image portrays a tranquil scene, the surrounding area is for gambling and entertainment.
