Explosion tragedy site
Just off to the right of this picture is the scene of the fifth largest non-nuclear, non-natural explosion in history, which took place on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus on 11 July 2011.
A large store of explosives and ammunition self-detonated, killing 13 people and severely damaging Southern Cyprus' only power station (the chimneys shown are part of the re-constructed facility).
When I took the photo I wasn't aware that it included a gravesite (indicated by an arrow) which I assume belongs to one of the victims. (To zoom in click on the picture once - or twice - and press the "Escape" button on your computer to return to the normal view)
