Two chairs in a swamp

An unlikely scene is always one of my favorite things to photograph so when I noticed these two chairs sitting in a swampy woodland a short distance off the street not far from my home, I decided immediately they needed their picture taken. I dashed home, grabbed my camera and headed back up the road. I couldn't get very close due to the several inches of water but I did my best to break through the brush to get a clear shot (all the while thinking I really needed to invest in a pair of Wellies for occasions like these!) I couldn't help but wonder who the heck put these two chairs in the middle of a swamp and if the culprits actually sat there for a bit before leaving them? Then I started imagining the culprits sitting there on those chairs having an ordinary conversation in the middle of a swamp while I took their pictures and how cool those shots would look! I love thinking that there is nowhere else on the planet where two chairs just like those are sitting in the middle of muck looking like they are just waiting for friends to stop by and take a seat.
