Does this painting appeal to you?

No, I don't mean the rowboats. What I can't decipher is the two tall structures standing in the water. The one in the middle of the picture looks like a huge chess piece! The one over toward the right looks like a conical formation of some sort. The pointy reflection in the water doesn't seem to match what's above it.

Is the artist being deliberately vague, or am I missing something?

I think it's supposed to represent a dock or pier.
 
I like the painting, it's peaceful. I'll give it a 7. Debodun, have you had the painting appraised? The frame suggests it might be worth something.

Yes, I sent pictures to a local antique dealer and appraiser. Here is his reply:

Thank you for sending the images of your painting. These were popular c. 1900 with little demand today. The painting would currently sell readily for $20-40. Unfortunately, it is not something that we can help you with.
