    The image shows a water surface covered with an iridescent oil sheen displaying swirling patterns of blue, orange, gold, and purple hues. Dead branches and dry plant stems are partially submerged or resting at the water's edge in the foreground. This appears to document environmental contamination, likely hydrocarbon pollution in a natural waterway.

    CHESAPEAKE, Va. - A thin sheen of diesel fuel is shown in the intracoastal waterway resulting from the punctured tank of a derailed train on the A&C Canal Bridge Friday, March 26, 2010. The area around the spill is contained within a floating oil or fuel barrier, preventing it from spreading. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Mark Jones.
