This is the Perry Monument on Presque Isle, Lake Erie, Pennsylvania.
You can read about it here.
The Perry monument, a 101-foot obelisk at Crystal Point on Presque Isle, was built in 1926 to honor Oliver Hazard Perry, Master Commandant, who was appointed both station and squadron commander of a new American Lake Erie fleet being built at Presque Isle/Erie in 1812/1813. This fleet’s assignment was to engage the British, who controlled the Great Lakes, and with luck gain control of the lakes.

Beautiful picture.
Great post for Weekend Reflections,- nice reflections!
Wonderful reflection photo.
I was about to say that I've been there and then realize this is a different Perry monument than the one I've been to on on Put-in-Bay. That's a very nice shot with the reflection on the water and the trees and light.
