Latticed Pier

This pier is on the Intracoastal Waterway (better known as the ICW), the waterway that allows boat passage from the northern US to Florida.  I think it would be a dream to start at one end and travel to the other.  With all the lattice as part of the construction, I can see why it is not painted.
Sorry for my delay in comments and posts lately.  It is the season.
