This Gallagher Pier photo is not just about the pier but also about the beautiful white season the city of Buffalo is known for. A cloudy morning shortly after sunrise provided diffused light and even illumination to capture the details of the pier underneath along with the surrounding ice and distant break wall.

To complete the mood, a gigantic flock of seagulls attacked a sizable hole in the ice about 300 feet in the distance and their squawking was very loud. There must have been hundreds of them, I had never seen anything like that before!

Gallagher Pier is one of the new structures that grew on the Outer Harbor of Buffalo along the south part of Buffalo's waterfront. It's right by the South End Marina Cargill Pool Elevator and the also new Union Ship Canal area. It advertises itself nicely since it is in plain sight from both the Fuhrmann Boulevard and Route 5.
