Sentinels

Old piers are decorated with wind caps, looking like helmets

Nice spotting. Makes an unusual photo. The reflections are really nice also.

How very interesting! Wind caps… What are they for? I thought, when I first looked at it, maybe that was put on there to keep birds from building nests on them or...?

@mcsiegle Mary, I am not sure about the design. Other piers in the water are capped with a white plastic cone. Thanks for your interest.
