Naples Pier

The iconic Naples Pier is still unusable 13 months after Hurricane Ian.  The City Council has reviewed several plans -- all of them very expensive -- and is close to selecting one.  One wrinkle is that Federal Emergency Management Agency will not permit offshore concessions like food stands.

To compare, this is Naples Pier in March 2017.

Now, pelicans and other birds are thrilled to be using the end of the pier to launch fishing expeditions.

In March 2017, the occupants were humans.

Nature sure can reclaim fast what man has built!

Quite a contrast.

Sorry to see the rebuilding of the pier is taking so long. The Pelicans seem to be enjoying it.
