A Different Kind Of Benchmark


Spoo

Recommended Posts

I just returned from the Persian Gulf, working for Uncle Sam aboard an [undisclosed] Naval ship. While at sea, I really do not know where I was, but using an oil company map of coastal refineries, the ships repeating compass, and several nights of observations, I was able to deduce my location based on the shore refinery gas blow off flames.

 

This picture was taken at about 20 miles off the shore of Iran. After several nights of observations, I was able to read these flames and their patterns, as compared to the map, almost as if they were printed in English.

 

Benchmarks are what you make them.
