Original – New Orleans, LA, Sept. 14, 2005 -- Six Flags Over Louisiana remains submerged two weeks after Hurricane Katrina caused levees to fail in New Orleans.

Edit – Straightened, based on the drop tower

Reason

High resolution, public domain image with a very striking scene: it shows Six Flags New Orleans flooded two weeks after Hurricane Katrina. A little bit blurry, but considering the age, resolution, and uniqueness of this photograph I don't think that should be an issue.
