A great set of great art (some of the graffiti really is an art). Mike, did you use some artificial lighting (because the series is evenly lightened although I suppose the shots were made all over the pier)?

The shots were taken all over the pier on a mostly rainy day. Some photos were taken at 1/15 handheld others I used the flash.
 
Ephemeral art, but often art nevertheless...nice record of what the surfaces showed on the day or days you were there. I am glad you added one or two of the 'bigger picture' as it is great to get an idea of the piers wider context. Indeed these abandoned lumps of concrete are really just as much part of the art, even if in another form!?!
Thanks for the tour!
