Pounding The Pavement Of The Steel Pier, Atlantic City, NJ

One of the things that I wanted to do with the PiercingKen blog site when I launched it was to showcase some of the photography that I found myself doing while on various travel or visiting adventures.  I felt that it would be fun to present that sort of thing to the interested eye and since I have a few people that I communicate with from around the world, it couldn’t hurt to inspire their future visiting plans.  Recently I was in Atlantic City, NJ for a couple of days – it was a family outing, and since I am not much for the gaming machines, I decided to wander the Boardwalk with my little snappy camera in hand and see what I could find.  We were staying in a hotel not too far from the Steel Pier amusement park and this is exactly what it sounds like.  A giant pier with an amusement part on it that goes right out over the Atlantic Ocean.  It’s pretty awesome, so I snapped a bunch of images and will let you wander the pier with me.  I won’t have much to say for this one since they speak for themselves in terms of what ride it is.

I’ll start this little narrative with a view from the hall of the hotel where I was staying.  We were in Resorts in case you were wondering.
