These are some of the bare wooden pilings surrounding Pier 43 in the San Francisco. This is an old industrial pier with a large archway and train tracks. It is in a state of disrepair but is being restored. I found whole scene quite interesting and took several photos.
ps: You are more than welcome to use my "piano" playing photo or the animated GIF! I do not know if I will ever become a good player. But I will keep practicing.
I liked our Galveston Pier 19 better, it had a nice seafood restaurant on it. Now it is Joe's Crab Shack Pier 19 which doesn't have nearly such good seafood. It sits next to pier 16-18 BANANA TERMINAL, Del Monte Fresh Produce docks.
Happy WW, I still like your picture (but I like our pier better). Thanks for checking in on Dusty.

I like this photo very much. I miss going to the pier and crabbing with my husband, or visiting the farmer's market. This picture brought back fond memories. Thank you.
Henges, lol. I'm going to use that if you don't mind.
I love photos of weathered stuff like this, especially macro shots of weathering. It's another world.

I refer to shapes like these as "henges"

Nice one, cool catch for ww… Mine's up too hope you can drop by.
June 15th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Another great shot. I've always loved wharves and piers, especially old ones.
June 15th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Hi Cath… to me it looks like a wooden stone henge
Thanks for visiting earlier!
June 16th, 2008 at 12:21 am
Looks like it is missing some parts! Thanks for your visit.
Happy WW!
June 16th, 2008 at 12:21 am
Gerat shot. It certainly looks like a watery stonehenge!
June 16th, 2008 at 12:26 am
Great pic! Looks a bit like the stone henge! Happy Wednesday!

It's an interesting composition. As for the pier, it definitely looks like it has seen its better days.

A contemporary ruin? Such things make my imagination run wild.
June 16th, 2008 at 3:39 am
Yup … really looks like stonehenge
June 16th, 2008 at 3:48 am

My WW is from SF too!
June 16th, 2008 at 5:45 am
Yeah, I have to parrot everyone here… "Pier Henge"? "Wood-In-Water Henge"? "43 Henge"?
June 16th, 2008 at 6:03 am
What a great photo!
June 16th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Pier Henge — I agree, a very appropriate title.
It leaves one to imagine doings at that spot decades ago.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:40 am
It's interesting to note that the henge design is not a modern invention, by any means.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Very interesting arrangement in the pier. Great shot!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy WW!
June 16th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Interesting, I have not seen something like this here in my place before.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Ummm … Water Henge?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Very cool WW…thanks for stopping by mine and hope you stop by again soon!
June 16th, 2008 at 9:04 am
That is a really cool photo!

Cool shot! Love the "driftwood" look of those massive, sunbleached piers. ThanX for stopping by via WW.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:08 am
That's an interesting photo. It's like a flooded Greek tragedy!
June 16th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Great photo! I really love all the docks in SF. BTW – did Luna get her Snuggle?

Happy WW! Yes, very nice pic. Hope they leave all this alone while restoring the area.
June 16th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
What a beautiful photo! It sure is an interesting and a great shot!!
June 16th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
We have always wanted to go to the Pier in San Francisco, we've never been there!
June 16th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
It's kind of like a mini-Stonehenge in the water. I like it! ::thumbs up smiley goes here::
Blogless Thursday tomorrow!
