Let's start a thread of pictures of piers.
I will start with a picture of Ventura Pier.

Uhhhh...I believe you set the bar pretty high here...incredible shot to say the least and a fantastic thread. This is the pier just south of the point breaks (forget what Ave surfers call it though I rode the spot one day and it was perfect well overhead w/offshores while Rincon was not getting much due to the more severe N. angle of the swell) and just north of the baby jettys right?
Rincon (Spanish, "angle" or "corner") is a surf spot located at the Ventura and Santa Barbara County line in Southern California, USA. Also known as the "Queen of the Coast", Rincon is one of the most recognized surf spots in California and known around the world for its long, peeling rights. It is best at low tide during the winter. Surrounded by a private gated community, access is restricted to a trail at the bottom and top of the point.
Location
Rincon is located near U.S. Route 101 at Bates Rd.
Rincon is divided into three parts; the Cove, River Mouth, and Indicator. The cove is primarily surfed by longboards and is closest to the freeway. Rivermouth is the speed section reaching from the top of the runoff water outlet to the large white/stone house. The Rivermouth barrels hard at low tide and needs a strong swell to be connected. Indicator reaches around the stone wall, not visible from the freeway. Indicator is the prime take-off spot on bigs days and is often rippable during the small days. Unfortunately, water quality suffers as a result of winter rains, causing occasional beach closures.
Where are the images?
Dear Hugo,
I'd appreciate your not making literary allusions on a photographic list ;-)
It really confuses my preconceptions regarding the literacy of photographers.
And I'm sorry but piers are not very common in this mountainous area, thus I have no images at hand, but it sounds like a good theme.
Yours in Joyce - Ross (pardon the digression!)
hey, a thread with an interesting hook(er), albeit not without pier.
Disappointed? Or 'underachieving'?
I'll toss one in the mix.
Sheldon,
Nice shot, if I am not mistaken, that is the St. John's bridge is it not?

Here's one I shot back in 2003 but just discovered last week
