Abstract
The pier in this picture extends several feet out into the waters off Brighton. Asphalt mined from the pitch lake at La Brea, south west Trinidad, is transported here for export. One could fish here but there are also many sharks. In the foreground, what looks like dark rocks on the sand are probably lumps of pitch or asphalt.
