Looking through the Oceanside Pier

Looking Through the Oceanside Pier — Photography by Alan Crosthwaite

Beneath the towering structure of the Oceanside Pier, a grid of dark wooden pilings frames a vivid coastal sunset. The sun peeks through the supports, casting a warm glow across the rolling waves and reflecting in shimmering patterns along the wet sand. Above, streaks of orange and gold cut through a deepening blue sky, creating a dramatic contrast against the silhouetted structure.

There’s a rhythmic energy in the scene—where ocean waves meet the steady geometry of the pier. The interplay of light, reflection, and shadow captures a fleeting coastal moment, blending motion and stillness into a striking and immersive perspective.
