Ignoring the wild guess of the on-line weather forecast, I ventured out before sunrise today to benefit from the good light, and photograph the progress of the renovation of Boscombe pier. Although mechanical sounds emanated from the structure, it's difficult to see what is actually being achieved from the restricted vantage point of the beach. From what I can observe, the final shape of the pier is now pretty much evident: not that it was worth the wait. It looked better with a derelict structure languishing on the end. The "improved" version has a rather sad 'T' shape added to the end, almost as an after thought. I suppose, ultimately, it came down to how much money was made available for the project.
Still, things could be worse: it might have been demolished altogether.
The image was shot shortly after dawn, today.
