See, toldja that was too easy.

The amazing thing about the Arizona is that oil from her boilers is still bubbling to the surface over sixty years after she was sent to the bottom of Pearl Harbor. If you look closely, you can actually see the slick on the water trailing away from the ship toward the southwest. :eek:

One of the most quiet and surreal places I've ever been to.

Can we at least get a part of the world that it's in?

Are we to assume that is your second clue? That this place is in Germany? :?

Du hast rechts.


The only word I can use to describe that place is profound.

Dammit, I was all around the right answer last night.

It was a good follow-up to my last pic, as the USS Arizona monument is also one of the most quiet and reverent public places I've ever visited.

OK, this one is probably easy, but it's a good pic even despite the satellite image composite.
