Where ever there is water, it has been a desire of man to build piers so as to have a structure over the water. Although what man does on these structures varies greatly, the most common use is for fishing.

This gallery will look at piers on this continent, most of which are found on the coastlines but there are many to be found on inland waters.

Although this may be one of the least of my photographic galleries, this is one subject that has always been near and dear to my heart.
