Excellent Brian. Was he sitting there and they built the pier around him?! 
Does that righthand column really lean?

Brian superb. Love these Pier shots. Great to have a bit of repetition of location it adds another dimension of value.

Thanks, Pete.
No, they didn't build the pier around him; he's actually just a blow-up doll that they put there as eye-candy for tourists to ogle.
With regard to the lean,...its the famous Leaning Tower of Pier. World renowned, so it is. (The Italians have tried to copy it, using one of their buildings to emulate our column. Their PR machine has done a nice job of turning it into a tourist attraction.)
Seriously, though, when I scanned the image that leaning column popped right out. I can't imaging it actually leans. I think I have my horizontal just slightly off angle (and yet cunningly obscured by the strategic use of the blown highlights) and the lens has amplified the effect. I'm going to double-check it at the weekend when I'm back down there, though.
Thanks again, Pete.

Thank you, Julian. I'm glad you mentioned about the repetition. As I was thinking about posting this one a wee voice inside my head was dissuasively telling me how many others I'd posted from under the pier. But there were a few things going on in this image so I thought it worth posting anyway. You've planted the notion of snapping a few more from this area just to see what I get. Thanks again, Julian.

Thanks, Glenn. You're right about it going on and on; its almost like one of those mirror things where the image goes on into infinity.
