    Nice photo. But taken some years ago. There is no fisheries dock in place and no Morocco Hotel construction which is now well advanced in the foreground.

    The wrecks which were cleared last year can still be seen in the top right hand section. DNO, when you accept a photo please ensure that they are up to date, unless you are running a historic photo series.

    This is beautiful. Note the background. It also appears serene. Another area to go on a picnic, have a swim, relax and enjoy the surroundings.

    This is very lovely, but its a very old photo. The steeple of the Catholic Church can be seen which was destroyed by an earthquake some years ago.

      He could also promote DA Carnival overseas and invite the tourists for Carnival. Then encourage them to take a trip to Portsmouth and Prince Rupert Bay.
