This was taken during my driving job parked at the end of Marine Parade while having a tea break and leg stretch. Apologies for the lack of a train but current employment schedules don't allow me the luxury of timing my visits. Perhaps it is me but the current construction looks worse than the artists' impressions from over a year ago. 

Regards Clive  Smith.
