Miniature meditations on the imagery I notice as my life moves me around my country and the world.

Leonardo Piers, NWS Earle, New Jersey
Another beautiful piece of infrastructure with an unsettling piece of history. The Leonardo Piers stick out more than two miles from the New Jersey shore into New York Harbor, splitting out into this elegant trident shape. Why so far? Because back around the time of World War 2, this is where the military used to load up ammunition into ships, and if something went wrong this way it would at least be somewhat isolated.
