It would be a better photo if it were a toilet seat.
Any seat is a toilet seat if you shit on it.

I’m too old and pessimistic for this world.
All I can think of is how there’s guaranteed to be massive spiders, and you’d be on high alert for wolves, bears, snakes, alligators, whatever there might be wherever that is.
Having done field work for health departments I have come across more than a few sites like this, often in proximity to some pretty dark and miserable situations.
I frequently think about how those spaces might’ve been important in some way to the person who had once resided in the tent or burned out trailer nearby. Those places probably were the few spaces of peace they experienced.
And mosquitos and ticks
This but with a sturdy, wooden, mossy bench that was built an unknown number of years ago

Thought of this as well.
This is all well and good for a couple of hours. Then it gets cold, and you get hungry, and the mosquitoes swarm.
Hopefully, just out of camera view, there is a warm, cozy cabin with electricity, hot and cold running water, at least a septic system, but preferably city sewer, and of course, internet.
Internet definitely isn’t in line with peace
It’s ok, I brought a tent and my thermacell. I even have an extra wool blanket. I’ll get the fire started, k?
would be more peaceful without trash left in it.
I can’t but imagine someone put that chair there to enjoy the quietness and the wild. Then he heard the buzzing of a flying drone, got off the chair, ran in the woods screaming “THERE IS NO PLACE LEFT ON EARTH I CAN ENJOY!!!”.
And we’re here, looking at that picture, and arguing about whether this would be a good setup for each of us individually, all assuming no drone presence, of course.
I can feel a storm approaching…
Till the bear sneaks up on ya.
I need to pee…where do I go?
The stream is right there…
Unless mosquitoes.
Until it gets dark.
