We have such wooden piers only on french west coast, so not around here. And they fascinate me , 'cause there's always a strange and attractive mood around them, especially for photographers..Do I need to say that I LOVE this picture?..

PS: if you did not yet, please see woody Allen's movie "Midnight in Paris", you'll ADORE it! It is made for you!

John said...

Effective black & white shot, it would not be the same at all in colour.

Luis Gomez said...

Very nice James! Great black and white.

Lúcia said...

Great shot as usual, I'm not sure if I'll be clear, but there's a movement feeling here, like an old memory, or a part of a movie.
Have a good weekend James. :)

Woody said...

Very beautiful James. Nice choice of POV.

Ebie said...

The soft and slow motion flow of the water created a great reflection of the pier!

Thérèse said...

A beautiful place to take picture at the end of the day!
Have a nice weekend!

Sylvia K said...

Marvelous capture, James! There is something soft and slow and somehow mysterious about the shot as a whole -- but of course, I'm a mystery lover, so I probably see things that aren't there! Whatever, it's terrific! Have a great weekend!

What a superb angle to capture this interesting wood pier and its reflection, and I like it in monochrome!

RobinfromCA said...

I really love the light in this pic.

Dragonstar said...

Beautiful light, and the reflections are so good. That's quite a pier!

Dorian Susan said...

Ooooh James love this black and white. There is a pier similar a few towns up; I must make a visit now that tourist season has come and gone. Fantastic image. You are the master.

Rejen said...

Brilliant points of view and pictures ...first time here, very cool blog.

Dianne said...

wow!!
love the b&w
and your perspective is wonderful

Genie said...

OMGoodness.....I adore the perspective of this one. Having grown up around ocean piers, I really do enjoy seeing photos of them. So many are shot directly from the side or from underneath...love the way you took yours. Stunning shadowy reelections. Kudos!

Stickup Artist said...

One of my favorite places! Love how you got so much detail even with the back lighting and a very dramatic composition. I feel the ocean beckoning...

L.D. said...

Wow fantastic. Something archaic and somewhat mysterious about old docks. Love it.

Stuck in a dream - and the water's gone viscous.

Thanks for sharing, James;o)

Nice mood to this. I like how the darkness blends into the black of the background. Gives the picture edges a ragged look and strikes a mood.

Carole said...

I've got a linen postcard from the 40s that features New Pier at Oceanside (with cars parked around and underneath).

This reminds me of it a bit. Nice shot. :-)

Really nice picture!
