Photo Friday: A beached object in Delaware

Happy photo Friday, DMV. It’s Oct. 9.

D.C. resident C. Stewart Verdery Jr., 59, captured this image Oct. 2 near his vacation home in Dewey, Delaware. What is it?

It has a sci-fi, otherworldly feel. I emailed Stewart for details.

“It’s a buoy that usually is offshore in DE but got washed ashore during the recent storms,” he wrote back.

Aha. Brilliant.
