Every time I see this image, I think this guy is a riverboat pilot with a peg leg.
That bench was made from a single slab of tree, like we just don't see any more. It must be from the early milling days, when Minneapolis lumber mills cut the great pine forests of northern Minnesota.
The fence has disappeared, but from several details in the trees and branches, I really do think I have the pictures in sequence.
