At a farm in Wisconsin. Farm is big, but looks like it only houses large equipment.

      I mean, the steps could be a safety device if you fell in since there’s no safety rails around it. The humps are probably just sediment buildup.

      Again, I’m speculating, but I’ve seen those kinds of basins before.

          It looks DIY, so I’m willing to accept the ladder. The humps are a bit of a mystery, but from the look of the dirt between the asphalt and the pond, I can see them being sediment buildup from the runoff. Not sure why they’re in those configurations, though, but that’ll have to remain a mystery for someone else to solve lol.

            Probably just ordered too much gravel and put it somewhere and ended up with the humps. I agree though, looks very DIY.

      Speculation but: Children.

      If you have something that looks like a pool they’ll go swimming.

      The ladder gets them out and the humps give them a place to stand in the middle to keep their heads above the water line. Their arms get tired very quickly.

        It just doesn’t jive at all for me. The humps are too clearly arranged and purposeful.
