This photo has a lot going for it. Notice the grass in the lower right corner? Sharp in a 30 second exposure? The smoke giving contrast to the city? This is a rare combo.

That hook in the sky in the police Helicopter. The stripe is a small plane. The "fog" behind the city is the smoke from the fireworks.

It looks to me like the strip on the South Side of Robson is zoned to be only a few stories high - it's funny to be walled on both sides by taller buildings.
