Dereliction: Abandoned Pier

The challenge this week was "Dereliction".
I saw this abandoned pier on the way to dinner in Monterey, California.
The birds (Cormorants) seem to have taken over.
Another nearby scene also caught my eye:

At least the Cormorants are making use of it!

One's dereliction is another's home ;-)

Makes me wonder why it was constructed in the first place

Good to see it's still being made use of. Lovely colour in the sky.
Phillip Normanton25-Oct-2007 19:45
Abandoned but still inhabited! Nice sky too.

Not abandoned, the birds love it.
Nice entry.

Love these wrecked seashore structures. Give a space for imagination.

abandoned only by humans, the birds are still faithful.
Guest 25-Oct-2007 16:15
Beautiful!
Yvonne25-Oct-2007 12:23
The birds enjoy it now!
Guest 25-Oct-2007 12:15
Great find. Wonderful sense of lonely atmosphere.

This is not a disused pier, it is a concrete bird sanctuary!Well spotted.

Both are perfect to meet the challenge.
Barry S Moore25-Oct-2007 09:45
Quite an abstract really. How do the birds know they are safe on this old pier?
Jola Dziubinska25-Oct-2007 09:43
All for the birds, good serving at least.
Dave Hein25-Oct-2007 09:35

Ian York25-Oct-2007 08:29

At least it's being used by birds, that's a good thing.
