When Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans with flooding and destruction, one of the larger casualties was the Dixie Brewing Company, a local staple that was forced to abandon its massive production facility in the wake of the storm. Since its abandonment, the facility has become a hotspot for graffiti artists and urban explorers.

Atlas user blwilde took a picturesque snapshot of the unfortunate relic saying this about the view:

“I took this while doing a photoshoot for my friends’ band. On the other side of the lens you can see the entire city of New Orleans.”
