Redcar Vertical Pier by craftymeg

Redcar Vertical Pier

The sun had gone in and I don't think there is ever a good photo of the vertical pier..... If something ever looked so out of place it's this. I'm afraid it's like marmite, you either love or hate it!!
Best viewed on large. Let me know what your opinion is.
Great capture.

WoW! Looks as if it is wrapped around a ships funnel.. I have never seen a picture of this before!

I actually like it a lot! It looks like strips of film wrapped around it. You did a great job capturing it!

It has a certain retro charm...

Maybe, but it still looks very out of place, the two sides of the road do not marry up whatsoever. The place I am talking about is where they shot all the seafront takes for the film deliverance and it still looks in a 40- 60s time warp!!!!! Weird !!

It does stick out a bit in Redcar especially but I do like it! I enjoyed visiting it too, might have been the opening day but can't remember! There was a lot going on and a queue of people! Helter Skelter to us too!
Lovely photo, I've been missing this coast recently so we may be visiting again very shortly!

@chedarrooed can't say I have been up it, will wait till it's a bit warmer!

I've never heard of a vertical pier and on first seeing it I thought helter skelter. I like you photograph with the railings leading the eye.

This is softer than the other one. Both are nice but I like the HDR

@linc I think I do too although it looks a bit over cooked!!
