Piling of Damocles

I took this photo from the old Ferry Point pier at 200mm with a 2X teleconverter–for an effective 35mm focal equivalence of 600mm. This accounts for the compressed perspective in the image.

I used a polarizer, and–naturally–a tripod.

It’s really hard to see what is holding these pilings up. From beneath, they are surely the pilings of Damocles!
