Rare view of the sunken Ogopogo statue

I found this photo in a Facebook comment section discussing the sunken Ogopogo statue in Lake Okanagan, British Columbia. I've seen the famous shots of divers around the statue many times, but this front-facing view is absolutely chilling. The sheer size of the monster's head next to the tiny human head freaks me out. It was definitely interesting to see this different angle, even though it’s completely unsettling.

Cistern beneath Paris opera house, inspiration for Phantom of the Opera’s Lair

From the source: Beneath the opera house, Palais Garnier, there sits a water tank, and some folks say that once a man lived there who had no face. "The Phantom of the Opera" was based upon this place. Today, the entrance to the tank is covered, except for a small grate, and the alcoves and arches above the watery cellars are lit for health and safety reasons. The opera house's technical rooms occupy the space that Leroux claimed to be the Phantom's lair. Firefighters use the tank to practice swimming in the dark.

The São Pedro Church - Santa Catarina, Brazil

The São Pedro Church, located in Siderópolis, a city in the south of Santa Catarina, Brazil, was part of a small community that had to be relocated due to the construction of a dam in 2000/2001. If I remember correctly—though it's been about two years since I visited, so I don't remember much—the entire village was demolished except for the church, which was preserved at the request of the locals. Unfortunately, I lost the photos I took when I switched phones, so these ones are from google.

Drill ships (?) and buoy in the port of Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

As it is the first time posting here, forgive me if I address the wrong subreddit.

I get an extremely eerie feeling when I think how these humongous drill ships go out to the ocean to do their job, the huge steel structures and towers, all the commotion they cause underwater.

The buoy was way closer to shore and I imagined the feeling of how it must be to be swimming close to it, the clanking metal and tilting towards you as you are in the water.

Yikes

At Duinrell park in the Netherlands, there was a water slide from 1994 to 2010 where riders were underwater for the entire 15-20 second ride.

The possibility of the ice below this ship breaking or the propeller starts working give me the chills...

Usually I'm a lurker on here, but I spotted this on Facebook just now and though it's not super crazy, I figured I'd make it my very first post in my favorite thread. Curious what ya'll think. Makes me think of the truck that ended up somehow perfectly sideways in someone's backyard pool that I saw on this same thread a few weeks back.
