Soulless town planning

Here's a romantic, moonlit view from the waterfront at Kingston where we were on Saturday evening, and the following morning we enjoyed looking down from a different angle while breakfasting on the sixth floor of the Holiday Inn. In these pictures is one of the four historic Martello Towers to be found in and around the city.

Kingston is certainly an attractive place, but when you see the city from the water, it seems that the local authorities have allowed that once elegant view of the historic skyline to be ruined by insensitive planning. The ugly new residential developments by the lake now dwarf Kingston's domes and towers. What a shame!
