Pleasure Pier Sunset

The Pleasure Pier is a small amusement park built on a pier over the Gulf of Mexico in Galveston, Texas. The pier used to be the site of the Flagship Hotel, which received too much damage from Hurricane Ike in 2008 to be worth restoring. It was the site of an earlier pleasure pier which was itself destroyed by Hurricane Carla in 1961. Maybe this one will last...
