Location DB > Iraq > Baghdad > Baghdad > Saddam's Palaces > Saddam's place > DSC_0996.jpg

1 / 4   DSC_0996.jpg

Description
This should be the main palace. At least it looks like it. This was shot from a helicopter. There are so many palaces out here but I believe thats the main one. You can see from other photos theres a lot of similarly built places. The green stuff is water. Dont ask me what the black dot is. Ohh and you can see US Army wash hanging in between two columns.

  Is that green stuff water?
And how'd you get that angle, were you on an opposing building?

  Great picture

  That is water. This is the downtown palace I believe. Forgive me I yanked this one from a archive.

  That black thing looked like a shadow at first, but now looks more like something submerged or emerging, curious, very curious

  Probably a mine or something....You can never tell when your in a country with ever-lasting troubles. Sort of like Kosovo or something.

  It could even be a car, or some construction equipment that was knocked in.

  Examining it closer, it looks to be an old soviet-class mine, roughly 3 feet in diameter, and 2 feet high.

  Great, everyone should have one or two of those lying around

  If it is 3 foot wide then that truck is tiny.

  the reflection in the water makes it look bigger that it actually is. (one of my neighbors collects live mines from all over the world)

  I really doubt it as a mine. I believe that this is nearly moss growing on someting. There seems to be a ton of this around. However could be anything.

  Do they have rocks over there? lol it could be a piece of a building knocked in the water from a US missile, end of a water pipe, a really big crab, I really don't know, very interesting but it makes me angry not knowing what it is haha!

  Yeah, that's no mine. Way too large and the placement wouldn't make any sense.

And no, they don't have any rocks in Iraq. Sorry.

  Anyone take a guess that it might be a drain or something. I thought I'd be the ass that thought of something other than a mine.

  If you look along the bank further you can see two more, just not quite as dark.
