The Huntington Beach Pier Picture
Gallery includes an original digital
photo of the pier with a palm tree. In
addition, four other renditions of the
same image are manipulated to offer
different moods and effects in what has
been used as frame-able artwork.
The
Huntington Beach Pier is quite
noticeable for its red domed roof top
building smack dab on the end of the
third-mile long structure extending into
the Pacific.
Shown above it the iconic Huntington
Beach landmark pier. It's not always
been there. When it was destroyed the
last time around by a huge series of
waves, some thought it would never be
back, in fact. But the citizens of
Huntington Beach really loved their pier
and they were willing to earn the money
to pay for it. T-shirt sales, at a table
at the base of the chained, gated and
broken structure went on for several
years. For many there was never a
question about if it would be back. The
question wash "When?"
Huntington Beach residents are a
determined lot. When they put their
minds to a project, it often comes out
better because of the community effort
and involvement. Like the pier, another
project that was shuttered but bounced
back was Shipley Nature Center in
Central Park. Funding issues created a
shortfall that forced closure. A
citizens' group formed a nonprofit
"Friends of Shipley Nature Center" to
clean it up and run the place. Well,
like the Huntington Beach, today the
venue is a shining star.
The picture above of the Huntington
Beach is the baseline photo for a series
of several additional attempts to throw
a smile on your face in an effort to get
you to "lighten up". When you
travel and see the stark reality,
beautiful as it is, some see things
throw the mind's eye of what that place
might look like if this or that was
tweaked. Enjoy the ride to Huntington
Beach as we provide you several
imaginative options for your Huntington
Beach Pier experience.
