Inner Harbour

Victoria's Inner Harbour is a beautiful spot, perhaps one of the loveliest city centers in the world. I must confess though that its most winning charactistic - it's a beautiful spot to relax and spend some time - is slowly being usurped by its use as a venue for huge crowd attracting events. It's a great space but when it is so full of people that it is impossible to relax and stroll around it loses some of its charm. Above is what I consider a pleasant summer scene. On the left is the crowd that turned out for the recent car show. It was a great show but I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't have been as great if it were held in some other part of the city, leaving the charms of the Inner Harbour and Causeway intact.
