Under the pier

I went for a quick visit to the UCSD biology center today. They have a great concrete pier there that was the perfect target! I love how this pier was made from concrete and lacked the crossbeams which added a great urban feel to a usual soft and natural setting.

@damianpowell I did! I usually tone it down! Not much for over doing it!
