The View Remains—Obscured

×

Two year ago we published a series of views taken from the top of Botanical Hill showing how several large trees spoil the magnificent view of Nelson for the thousands of tourists who trudge up the hill every year in the hope of getting a fine view of the city from the old accepted centre of New Zealand. We took a trip up again last month and found the view still obscured. We understand the council is still considering action. Perhaps when something concrete is decided the council (or possibly the Progress League) will do something to ensure that visitors' can obtain a photograph similar to the one we publish here-of the trig station with Nelson in the background-without having to stand precariously on a fence post to get everything into the picture. Botanical Hill is a tourist attraction and it should be developed as an attraction and not left to remain, as it is at present, a disappointing climax to a hard climb.
