what all is wrong with this picture

The lighting and shadows. A little more contrast. Maybe try a sepia filter?

Partially buried 'weather proof-type' box which is not rated nor approved for direct burial.

Lack of protection for the liquid tight conduit, and not properly secured and supported.

How far down do those liquid tight conduits hang?

What is the 'flood' level? All that stuff needs to be above flood level.

The wood that the box is mounted to is split

Box is not approved for this use. Conduit not supported.

Ahhh green grass, my grass is white.

I'm amazed that the picture was taken in Jan. and that St. Augustine grass is as green as it is. Nothing but the brown stuff here this time of the year.

Paul,

We must have been thinking the same. (1) minute apart of the post.

Rick and Paul,

Jerome is 'almost' down in South Florida (about 50 miles or so north of what is typically considered 'South Florida').

In South Florida there are two seasons: 1) mow the grass once per week and 2) mow the grass every 10 days.

I'm now in "Central Florida" and the grass is still green, our lawn guy still comes each week and mows it, it's just that now it is more for the leaves than the grass, but the grass is still nice and green - and I'm 268 miles north of Miami, about 140 miles north of Jerome.

Is this for a boatdock?

Shannon,

At the very least, next to a seawall, and with that piling there - either a dock or just a place to tie off a boat.
