SEPTEMBER 22

Galveston Island, TX

Pleasure Pier and Beach

A beautiful day, sunny and mid-80s. Before Labor Day, this beach was packed with tourists.
There were long lines to get into the amusements at the Pleasure Pier too.
Now, the beach is quiet and the crowds are gone. Despite the pretty weather...

I think I would like it better this way. Wonderful composition with the amusement park in the background. V.

It looks pretty deserted, Lynn. I like the clear view of amusement park rides in the background though!BV

Beautiful shot, sad history! Luckily enough the weather is still pretty.. Could the Pleasure Pier be started again some day? V

I love the beach and less people is good but not when its too cold. Beautiful pier.

Nicely timed. The three solitary people really make the composition and the mood.

For a moment I thought this was New Jersey! This looks preferable to being crowded! Lovely shot, Lynn. V
