Ruined Pier; Picture of the Week 16.10.12



A ruined pier, a sandy beach, but where?

The first mystery photograph for a while. One more clue, for what it's worth; I shot it in September 2001.


* Update  7 November 2012

The old pier was on the coast at Atlantic City, New Jersey. When I shot this picture, the landward end of the pier still had a pavilion on it. I haven't been able to find any pictures of this online, which means if any remained after 2001, it probably was probably washed away in the hurricane of 2012.

    1. Hi James, no sorry. It's Atlantic City. Actually a trick photo, the shore end of the pier was still in use and had a pavilion on it!
      I loved the way they raked the beach out every day with a tractor.

  2. Right continent, anyway, not bad. If I'd known about the pavilion..

  3. Yeah maybe, but they do seem to let the piers just decay, so unless you were there eleven years ago... unlike British piers which are all listed structures even when they are falling/burnt down. I do have a thing for piers, you can probably tell from earlier posts on this blog!
