I see that you, and the people around you, go to this pier not only because of the healing properties of the Sun. All your photos present a place of pilgrimage, a sanctuary, where people come to pay their last or first respect to this most important Deity, that with its light, warmth and favor gives life to our Planet. (In fact, isn't that always the main subconscious reason we're all so drawn to sunrises and sunsets?)
A wonderful walk!
