Is that… the word “SLUT” carved into the ground of Nova Scotia?
On closer examination it becomes clear that the “S” is actually a tree shadow - but the remaining letters look to be formed by the shapes of three small ponds.
Since “LUT” doesn’t make a lot of sense, what if the “L” were actually a “C”? Why on Earth would anyone have built three ponds in the shape of the letters of the word “CUT”?

Just a quick note Wikipedia says:
“Lut (circa 1781 BC - 1638 BC?[1] [2]), (Arabic: لوط ) was a prophet mentioned in the Qur’an and known as Lot in the Bible.”
Comparing the letter line widths of the U and the T with the “C”, I think the C is actually a square “O” whose center has drifted northeast. Ergo, “OUT”.
No, I don’t know why it would say that, either. Unless there’s an “IN” written somewhere.
I meant southwest, obviously. Curse your clever rotation trick.
Keith your right out is also a pretty good possibility there is another rectangle pond a ways north that looks like it could have been an “I” from “IN” but nothing that looks like an N.
I suggest we all start looking for a similar “PASTE” pond-formation somewhere on the globe.
looks like the word OUT
Well, you could all just be projecting language recognition onto a number of small man made lakes designed to give the maximum area for fishermen to sit and dangle their rods in the water, and not to spell out a word…?
Nah Ben, that’s no fun.
It’s out I think. Now we need the in, and the shake it all about.
Actually, the left arm of the T isn’t pond; it looks to me like it’s trees. Now we’re really reaching to make that a word.
The word is supposed to be LUTZ, the name of the man who owns the land, the last pond has not been dug yet. It apears to me that a bunch of people are just looking for problems
