Pilings, piers, and other docking facilities for the Staten Island Ferry.

This is another of my Staten Island Ferry photographs from last summer. Although it may be a bit hard to see in this small jpg, I was impressed by the extensive wooden structures at the Staten Island end of the route at the ferry terminal. Pilings are placed about as close together as possible, and in densely packed rows. Beyond them, a walkway and wooden fence rises, and beyond that more similar structures. In front of all of that are several very dilapidated looking wooden structures that seem to me falling apart and almost useless… for whatever it is that they were designed for.

I’m afraid that there isn’t a lot to write about this photograph. It is an orange fence. On a boat! I was wandering around on the Staten Island Ferry looking for subjects other than the New York skyline here I photographed the railing as the vessel was very close to the terminal at the Staten Island end of the run.
