This shot is of a US service member practicing his golf swing off the top of the Al Faw Palace in Baghdad Iraq. The lake is man made and surrounded by palaces that used to belong to Saddam, but now is the home of US Forces. I just found out it was selected as a "daily dozen" image on National Geographic's website.
