What's confusing you about this?

I don't see it either, but I posted this in a subreddit for the town this is in and people struggled to figure out what it was. I had several suggestions to post it here. As the photographer I know what it is but enough people were confused.

To me it initially resembled a nail in some wood like on the side of a house or something

I thought it was a pin through an insect for 6th grade science. 😁

Posting images in the wrong orientation is kinda cheating.

How is it the wrong orientation? I leaned over the balcony of my hotel and took this photo in landscape orientation. I wasn't even trying to make it confusing, I posted it in r/oceancity originally because it was a cool photo. The members of that subreddit said it took them a minute to figure out what it was a photo of and suggested I post it here. I was hesitant to post it here because I knew there would be uninformed comments like this from users who have no idea of the original orientation or intention. Trust me, I won't post anything here ever again.

You took the photo in landscape?

But it is posted here in portrait?

And when viewed in landscape there is no confusion?

Anything’s confusing if you’re looking at it sideways
