Look through the fence: it's the top of a baseball bat! The old Yankee stadium had a statue of a baseball bat outside of it. Even though the old stadium is gone now, they left the statue up and it is visible from the highway.
This is similar to a photo I took in the past. Only in this photo, there is an elderly gentleman with a cane next to the iron sculpture of a male passenger. I thought these two gentleman had a similar form that complemented each other.
