Photo Diary: The St Pete Pier [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2023-11-09
St Petersburg, Florida, was originally founded as a railroad station, for carrying cargo to the port of Tampa. So it has always had a pier on the waterside, which over the years became a central tourist attraction. The latest version of the St Pete Pier was built in 2016.
Some photos from an afternoon at the Pier.
For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and travel around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visit. I am currently wintering in Florida.

On weekends there are vendors along the Pier
“Land of Gaia”. I can almost smell the patchouli. :)
There are always a couple of buskers here
This kinetic sculpture is called “Bending Arc”

The Splash Pad is always a popular spot with the little kids

Looking across the bay past Snell Island towards Tampa
The water felt cold to me, but these little kids didn’t seem to mind it
