I meant the asymmetrical metal things sticking up at the end of the concrete pier, and the other one in the middle of the pile of rocks.

Ah, they are markers/beacons. The one at the end of the pier is the harbour marker and the others were to keep them in-line with pre-existing ones.

@ Sanjuro - Stunning, the 2nd is my fave!!

Just shy of 6 minutes. EXIF data reports 349 seconds to be precise. Since you used ISO 400 and I see fairly substantial grain, I am curious if you did not apply any post-processing NR or didn't use the in-camera NR at the time you took the photo. Clever angle to make sure the center would be included in the frame.
