Weekly Photo Challenge: Depth

I set off on a walk to search for “Depth.” I took pictures of a winding road that could be “Depth,” but then felt drawn to look over the side of a hill. That view was “Depth” to me!

What was a fire hydrant doing in the middle of the woods? And what was the yellow circular object?

As I write this post, I’m wondering if there are also one or more objects just to the right of the fire hydrant. “Depth” had led to a mystery. Maybe sometime I will crawl down that hill and take a closer look!
