A photo from my balcony of the flotilla carrying Pope Benedict XVI on Sydney Harbour just thirty minutes ago.
The media is getting carried away with hyperbole regardless of the contrary evidence before our very eyes.
Fifteen minutes before I took this photo a commentator on television reported the three thousand craft on the harbour to welcome the Pope. Clearly there was nothing like that number on the Harbour on this working day Thursday. She also reported the half million spectators lining harbour vantage points to watch the spectacle when television coverage clearly shows numbers far fewer than that figure.
None the less, it was a fine sight on a fairly sunny winter's day.
