Thanks Anne, I did go back armed with tripod to try and get some clearer shots but forgot to remove camera battery from charger before leaving home

so took the opportunity to watch and identify good places to take better shots.
There are some amazing colour changes I didn't see the first time so will go again and try to capture these.
Going back to how the locals feel about the changes I also took the opportunity to have a delicious fish sandwich at Popeye's (highly recommended) and asked them if they liked the show and if it was good for business.
The owner said that before they changed the park the tea house that was just across the way was filled day and night and he got a lot of customers from there and now its gone he has lost all that business. Some how I don't think the people attracted by the shows in the evening will compensate for that lost business as I noticed they were, for now mainly Turkish and they only stayed for about 20 minutes or so before leaving.
