Abandoned picnic shelters

I've been fascinated by this view which we frequently pass on our way to Pittsburgh - it is an abandoned private lake which is fenced in with an iron gate at the entrance. I was hoping to get a shot through the fence only to find that there was a steep bank angled down in front of it which made me shoot from over the top. There isn't a good place to park next to the road so my long-suffering and much appreciated husband dropped me off and came back a few minutes later.

Looks like it hasn’t been used in a while. Nice shot.

It hasn't been used in many years - it was probably a very nice place to picnic back in the day.

At first blush, it reminded me of something from "In the land of Giants" (The "small" barn versus the "giant" gazebos.)

I like this image. It will look better if the fence and electric wires could be cloned.

The electric wires - yes, but the fence is a reminder of why I couldn't get closer.
