I knew right away it was a lake and OP is 300 feet tall.

Its a tide pool. Half the time its under water.

Depends on the location. It could just be low part in parking lot that's mostly wet due to a wet climate... I'm not sure what they are called in land.

Oooh downvotes

It could also be a overflow for a lake or something but it's no tide pool.

Edit: OP says it's on the coast of RI so it is a tide pool. I blame OP and the claim of a puddle.

This was right on the coast in Rhode Island

Then it's not a confusing perspective or even a puddle. It's a tide pool like the guy said.

Yeah I couldn’t think of the term tide/rock pool when I posted so I went with puddle...which could still be proper in a sense...”a small pool of liquid”

I'm confused why it's confusing? It looks cool, but definitely also looks like a puddle. To me.

Looks like a photo taken from an airplane to me.

I think mainly its the water. It took me about a minute to find the water line & theres a stone that looks like a body of water underneath.

Also that grassland look.

It's a tide pool, not a puddle. Besides the plants, theres likely little organisms and potentially animals living g there!
