Huntington Beach Pier, California, at sunset

In today"s image, we see the sun disappearing below the pier at Huntington Beach, California. First built in 1902, the pier was damaged by a storm and had to be rebuilt just nine years later. During World War II, a submarine lookout post was installed on the pier to help with the war effort. These days, it"s a popular spot for fishing and watching surfers ride the waves out in the Pacific Ocean.
