Tranquility (p.a.d. 39)

I awoke up at the lake on Sunday morning ready to do a 12 mile run (and no I didn't have to use the outhouse) and was greeted by the glorious sight of mist burning off the lake. The lake was mirror calm and I knew I had to take a picture. The mist was burning off very quickly however and by the time I got my camera and made it down to the lakeshore the scene infront of we was quite different to the one I originally saw. It still says tranquility though I think.

Outhouse (p.a.d. 38)

Few things say "Up at the lake" more than the outhouse.

Really a vestige of the past more than anything as modern septic systems and waste management make them a bit of an anachronism. But many folks keep them "just in case" and they will get used a few times a year. Owners individualise them with painting and decorations. This is the one at my in-laws lake place.
