Brant Street Pier

Brant Street Pier is a signature destination and attraction located in Spencer Smith Park at the Waterfront at Downtown Burlington. It extends 137 metres over Lake Ontario that provides views of the lake and Burlington's shoreline. It officially opened during the Sound of Music Festival in Spencer Smith Park on the Father's Day weekend of June 2013.

The S-shaped pier is 137 metres long and about 7.5 metres wide along the span or deck. It features a walkway and lighted lookout tower elevated four meters above the deck. The lookout tower or the raised platform, accessible by a circular staircase, is located on the fifth span of the deck (a circular node with a diameter of 20m). This raised platform also supports a 12-metre beacon made of tubular structural steel framing on the center.

I shot this during blue hour right after the sun had set, hence the overall blue tone of the picture. I was able to catch the reflections of the lights on the water and did a fairly long exposure to ensure that I got all the details of the bridge even with so little light in the scene.
