When I was younger there used to be a competition running on television that showed a close-up photo of an object. It was often something obscure like the eye of a fly, or a thimble, or some other "everyday" object. It was invariably very difficult to guess exactly what the object was because without the full picture or proper context the object could be one of many different things.
I don't think it's quite as difficult to tell what this photo is of, but then again, I've already seen the entire picture. If you have an idea what this photo may be of - please take a guess and leave a comment below. :)

Something to do with life guards or life vests, perhaps?

Don’t know what it is but I remember a magazine that did that – mostly very close up pictures from nature and you had to try to guess what they were.

A place for life vests??
Well, I like the photo, and the beautiful light in this shot.

Most likely a life-guard’s tower on a beach somewhere. Interesting that the paint is faded and chipped yet the vinyl lettering looks relatively new.
