Not my pictures: "Reflecting Pool Boondoggle" Flickr Album.
This one in particular has a lot of details that reward / punish close zoomed-in examination, I think.
This one shows that some of the banners surrounding the site have been defaced, including at least two sections which appear to have been sliced out with a box cutter or something similar. I'm curious what was on those parts that were removed.
