Port Richmond Coal Wharf: Pier 18
Uploaded: August 31, 2013

From Pier 18 on the Delaware Rive, coal was loaded onto ships back in the day. But by the 1970′s modern roadways brought Philadelphia’s shipping industry to a close. Where water highways once carried giant ships and ferries, trucking now reigns as King. Pier 18 is one of 12 abandoned piers on the Philadelphia river front.
----
Concrete structures all along the pier form a graffiti labyrinth; a photography haven for those intrepid enough to venture into its creepy maze.
The Ben Franklin Bridge is seen in the background.

Used the new Topaz plugin, "Restyle" to enhance the "noir" mood...as if it wasn't already "noir" enough!

Congratulations to all the July winners.
