I seem to have the sensation of a very large expanse of water. There might be boats. Several vertical lines, sort of like poles. They're narrow, not heavy. Maybe lamp posts or flagpoles. Some kind of circular shape. Almost like a merry- go-round or a gazebo. A large round thing. It's round on its side, like a disc, it's like a round thing flat on the ground, but it seems to have height as well. Maybe with poles. Could possibly come to a point on top. Seeing vertical lines again. Seems to be a strong impression, these vertical lines. No idea what they could be.... A definite sensation of being outside rather than in. Water again.... To one side of where [the agent] is I get the feeling there's a kind of small building. Could be a shed.... Predominant colors seem to be blue and green.... Water again. Some very quick impression of a fence, a low fence.... Steps. I don't know where they're leading to.... The steps sort of lead up to like a path or walkway. Like a boardwalk. And there's a fence along it. There's people walking along it, and there's vertical lines along that walkway. . . ."
