De eerste pier in Scheveningen werd in 1901 geopend en stond bekend als het Wandelhoofd Wilhelmina. Deze houten pier diende als promenade en amusementslocatie, maar werd in 1943 door de Duitse bezetter afgebroken. In 1959 begon de bouw van een nieuwe pier, ontworpen door architect Hugh Maaskant. Deze nieuwe betonnen pier werd in 1961 geopend. De pier bestond uit een brede loopbrug en vier eilanden met restaurants en een uitkijktoren. In de jaren ‘90 raakte de pier in verval, maar uiteindelijk opgeknapt en in 2015 opnieuw geopend. Vanaf 2016 is ook het reuzenrad (hier niet afgebeeld) in gebruik genomen. Opnieuw zijn er plannen de pier een upgrade te geven.

The first pier in Scheveningen on the Dutch coast opened in 1901 and was known as the Wandelhoofd Wilhelmina. This wooden pier served as a promenade and entertainment venue, but was demolished by the German occupiers in 1943. In 1959, construction began on a new pier, designed by architect Hugh Maaskant. This new concrete pier was opened in 1961. The pier consisted of a wide walkway and four islands with restaurants and a lookout tower. In the 1990s, the pier fell into disrepair, but was eventually renovated and reopened in 2015. Since 2016, the Ferris wheel (not pictured here) has also been in use. Once again, there are plans to upgrade the pier.

In den 1990er Jahren verfiel der Pier, wurde jedoch schließlich renoviert und im Jahr 2015 wiedereröffnet. Seit 2016 ist auch das Riesenrad (hier nicht abgebildet) im Einsatz. Erneut ist eine Modernisierung der Pier geplant.
Another comp of my daughter out on the pier on this golden sunset light. She was sitting there waiting for her long exposure to end ... just like me :)
Happy Bench Monday

Southport Pier is a Grade II listed building in Southport, Merseyside.
At 1,216 yards it is the second longest in Great Britain after Southend Pier. It was listed at Grade II on 18 August 1975.
The Southport Pier Tramway ran from Southport Promenade to the pier head (the far end of the pier) at various times in the pier's history, most recently from August 2005 until June 2015.
Peering out and once proud pilings for piers, these pry into the past, now little more than pondering posts.
In April 1865 The Eastbourne Pier Company was formed with a working capital of £15,000. Work began in April 1866; Four years later Lord Edward Cavendish opened the pier although it wasn’t completed until 1872.
The pier is 300 metres long and built on stilts, which rest in cups on the seabed allowing the whole structure to move during rough weather.
This pier is the central feature of the July 4th celebrations in Cayucos, CA. The weather on the central coast has been the best in years. Last night the sunset added to the spectacular views we have been enjoying during this week of national celebration.
Blyth has two huge piers guarding the entrance to the Harbour. The West Pier, made of wooden planks with metal railings, stretches out for more than 400m and is a great vantage point for fishing. The East Pier is inaccessible and has a lighthouse (1907) at the end of it.

Another view of the sunrise at Southwold Pier. It was the silhouetted seagulls that caught my attention here.

Tynemouth Pier extends 900 metres out to sea and the walk to the pier lighthouse is rewarded with some magnificent views of the river entrance and back towards Tynemouth Priory & Castle. The pier is a Grade II Listed building and dates back to Victorian times when its construction was a major feat of engineering.

This is a shot of a pier.
That's why I titled it "The Pier".
Too deep? I get that way sometimes.

So I don't have a blog. I sometimes think about doing one but quickly realize I don't really have anything to say that warrants a blog.
Besides, it sounds like a lot of work. Or at least commitment. That and I bet I'd get 1 person to subscribe (thanks Sis).
Anyway, I think this photo description area will be my blog. That way, you can read my rant or just look at the (hopefully) pretty picture and ponder questions like why are there Interstate highways on Hawaii?
Good deal, no?
