High dynamic range (HDR) shot of Manhattan at night. I happened upon these shots a couple months ago when I was trying to score a copy of Metatropolis in a series of simultaneous contests by the contributing authors. This one is dark enough not to blind me when I turn my computer on without using a desk lamp first.

It hasn't vanished, it's just not on the surface anymore. We don't really have any reliable technology for widespread detection of subsurface oil.
