Technically this shot is pretty poor, but it is interesting because of the item in the middle of the shot?
Can anyone guess what it is?

My guess is a rope pull for a bell. Are you in a bell tower?

I am actually more perplexed by the hanging foot in the background. I hope that guy is sitting on something and not hanging in mid-air!

@mtbell There is a rope and it is in a belltower, but the item in question is the wooden one :)

@mtbell He is standing :D
