What is This?


This is an interesting photograph.  At least to me.  It is interesting because whatever it is, is not obvious.  And the colors are interesting and the brightness differences between the two objects in the photograph are interesting.  I think it is an abstract image.  I am actually not sure if this is interesting at all!  I do like that the top piece is reflected in the water adding some interest.  So I will leave it up to all of you to see what you think.  OK, so here is the answer.  You know there is a place I have photographed so many times called "Scudder's Pond" that is right next to the road along the seashore.  The water enters the pond from the far side, away from the road, and this object is right next to the road and there is a concrete "bridge" kind of thing that allows the water from the pond to go under the road and into the harbor.  This object is part of what holds the water level constant.  This is a concrete ring like they put in your backyard for a cesspool.  You have seen these concrete rings on trucks when you are driving, right.  So this is only a small part of the ring which is about 5 or 6 feet in diameter and goes down into the water about 4 feet.  So you can all be the judge whether or not this is interesting at all.
