The Ferris Wheel on the Grand Parade is gone now but just recently a crow was checking it out to see if it was fun or not.

Way back in 2005 before the Elysian was built. Look at all the buildings that are gone now:
This view from the City Hall car park is no longer possible of course because the Elysian and new development along Alert Quay gets in the way. The new development is welcome but building more and more offices and hotels is a mistake. We need more residential development.

This won’t win any awards for beauty but it’s part of the old industry of the city along the docklands. While this old building looms overhead lots of people were enjoying a warm June day at the Marina Market. Open air seating was all full with people enjoying their lunches.
I have no doubt these buildings will be gone in a few years, hopefully to be replaced by a thriving community of businesses and homes.

Albert Road on the right, Montenotte View on the left. Take one road and go.
I used to take the bus into town for many years going to school. That went to the left. Traffic used to go both ways on Albert Road a long time ago. The day it changed to one way my mother drove up the wrong way after collecting us from school. She didn’t go too far before other motorists let her know the error of her ways!

Exactly 2 years ago in 2019 I was in Porto, Portugal with my team on a company meetup. It’s a beautiful city and I would love to get back there some day! That’s the Torre dos Clérigos in the background.

I saw “FUCK CANCER” spray painted all over Porto in 2019. I think we can all agree that cancer can go f*** itself but I wonder what motivated these?
