Thanks everyone, I shot this on the same beach as the 'water log' shot from a couple of days ago. I have no idea what it is either but I would guess it either had a sign hanging from it (there's a new sign further along about beach conditions) or perhaps a life saver ring or similar. There used to be lifeguard on this beach, there's a rusty old high chair as well, so perhaps it was some kind of equipment that left with the lifeguard.

Oh wow, stellar shot of a simple scene. Love how the rust just pops. The DOF is great too.
I wonder what it was?

At first I thought "swingset", but really it's hard to get a sense of scale at all. I like the ambiguity of it.

Strange and nice shot of this thing. My thought was also "swingset" but I dont get the feeling how big it is.
I like it!

Love the DoF and simple colour adjustments.
Is it an old frame for a sign or a swingset, as others have queried?
